Now, moving beyond the spotlight of reality tv, she has realized her dream of establishing her own haven of creativity, EverBlack Tattoo Studio, where she tattoos full-time in her beloved Brooklyn, NYC.
Her distinctive style, romantic illustrative realism, is renowned for its soft, high-contrast black and grey pieces, as well as vibrant, saturated color work. Nikki’s portfolio is a mesmerizing gallery of woodland witches, fierce goddesses, perfectly petaled roses, and intricate ornamental accents. Each piece is a testament to her unparalleled skill and boundless imagination.
