Putting a permanent mark on other people is powerful. And it’s important for the artist that the tattoo brings satisfaction and gives strength to whoever wears the creation. But having power means bearing responsibility. And one thing that Nonlee deals with on a daily basis is the huge pressure of it all.

She said, “When you think about how your work will influence another person, it’s really exciting and terrifying. And it requires your full attention to every detail. And sometimes it’s hard to concentrate for a long time, especially on big pieces.”

Nonlee treats adversity and challenges as a chance to master and grow. She is determined to become better and better at tattooing with practice.

She speaks about her dreams, explaining, “My goal this year is to solidify my style and practice whenever I can. I love being a tattooist and creating amazing illustrations on the skin. When you do your job with passion, your clients will feel it.”
