Body Art Initiative
Centurion, South Africa
I am Velvet, the resident tattoo artist at Body Art Initiative. Each client receives my dedication to creating unique custom pieces, tailored to their specific requests. I find inspiration in Anime, Fantasy, and Cyberpunk Artworks, bringing those vibrant, clean, and colourful designs to life in my tattoos.
In 2020, I laid the foundation for my art career by studying at the Open Window Institute for Fine Arts and Digital Science. There, I immersed myself in Graphic Design, Motion Design, and Fine Arts Illustration. My tattoo journey began in March 2021 when I started training with Jax and the journey has been amazing.
