Naira Dots Las Vegas, NV

Naira Dots is an ornamental tattoo artist specializing in the dotwork style. She has been involved in the tattoo industry for many years, being a model for her husband, a famous tattoo artist, Ilya Cascad. Ilya (ilyacascad) is known due for the huge 3D optical illusions he manages to fit into his projects. Together, they’ve received numerous trophies showing off his ornamental art on Naira’s body. At the beginning of 2022, they opened their tattoo studio Ornamentalika.ink, in Las Vegas, and Naira started her own artistic career, making custom mini ornamental works ⸺ How many tattoos do you have? Tattoos cover a significant part of my body; however, I only have a few tattoos. I prefer massive projects that are thought over at the very beginning. That gives an obvious result - everything matches and looks balanced together ⸺ Are all your tattoos made by your husband, Ilya Cascad? Most of them are done by Ilya. My legs are done in collaboration with MaximXIII, an amazing artist and our good friend. I can’t even say how proud and happy I am to have their collective art on me ⸺ Who/where do you get your inspiration from? Definitely my husband, Ilya Cascad. His talent is inspiring; he creates something unique with every project he makes! ⸺ What did your family and friends think about you getting into the tattoo business? My parents are very conservative, and I believe I’m the first person in my family who has tattoos. However, all questions and concerns ended when this became a profession and started to bring me money. They realized that my husband and I are happy doing what we love and traveling around the world for conventions and guest spots ⸺ What would you say is your favorite part of the job? My favorite part is to realize personal growth and development, skills improvement, and the ability to create something new and unique ⸺ What was it that initially sparked your interest in tattooing? All of my surroundings were pushing me into tattooing: my husband’s work, our tattoo studio, and my interest in ornamental style. So it was just a question of time ⸺ Who are your favorite artists? There are so many of them I can’t even highlight one... artists who have their own unique style... if you see work and you know exactly who the artist is, this is what is called unique. ✕
