Nickki

Hello, I'm Nickki (she/her)! You can find me on Instagram @ickynickki.

I did my very first tattoo in July of 2021 after completing a 2 year apprenticeship at a different shop in Sacramento. I’ve been passionate about art ever since I was a child and I'm incredibly grateful to have transformed it into a full-time career as a tattoo artist. It’s really a dream come true to be able to tattoo and I try to never take it for granted. In October 2022, I officially joined the Les team and I have learned so much and met some really awesome people.

While I enjoy tattooing a wide range of designs, my true specialty is bold, full-color pieces. My style is best described as illustrative, and I tend to shy away from hyper-realism. My portfolio includes everything from pet portraits, to cartoons, to elaborate botanical pieces. 

Creating a comfortable and collaborative space for my clients is of utmost importance to me. I understand that getting a tattoo is a deeply personal journey, one that demands patience and trust. I'm truly honored whenever someone trusts me with their ideas, and I make it a point to involve my clients in every step of the creative process.

When I'm not busy tattooing, you'll likely find me at home, enjoying quality time with my partner and our three feline companions. I really love getting to geek out with my clients and talk about whatever books we’ve been reading or video games we’ve been playing. Bonus points if you show me pics of your pets!

Thank you for considering me to be a part of your tattoo journey. I can’t wait to work with you!
