Our Newest Shop Apprentice… Belena!!!!

 

Check out this brief bio, from a truly amazing up and coming tattoo artist, Belena!!!!

“My name is Belena Enora Roy. As a Tattoo Apprentice I feel like I’ve only just dipped my toes into a completely new walk of life, and I can’t wait until I can run around with this world of tattoo artists.

 

I grew up as a ballet dancer in Florida, so the importance of technique and the flow of the human body was introduced to me before I knew much about anything else. I left to become an aerial contortionist in a circus performance group, and because of it I fell in love with creativity and all of the weirdness in the world. My favorite thing to look for in both life and in art is irony, especially the juxtaposition of the beautiful with the grotesque.

 

I wanted to contribute, so I began painting and drawing and allowing my life to be taken over by color and the desire to create my own perfect balance of strangeness and beauty, so I could see it whenever I wanted. Canvases and sketchbooks would pile up on me and somewhere around that time I looked at all of the pictures of other people’s tattoos that I had saved on my phone and realized there might be a reality where I could not only work with art everyday but give art like gifts in the most personal way.

 

I could only hope to learn such a procedure, I searched for a tattoo apprenticeship for two years before I moved to Las Vegas to paint on Fremont Street. Then through a few waves of luck and coincidence I found myself lead inside the doors of Trip Ink Tattoo Company.

 

I didn’t expect my life to change so abruptly in such a positive direction, I’m surrounded by some of the best artists in Las Vegas and their rich knowledge in the history and mechanics of the tattoo industry, and I am so grateful for it!”
