My name is Evelin, though many people also know me as Lina. I'm originally from Siberia, Russia, and moved to San Diego with my family six years ago. Art has been a part of my life since early childhood, and I have always been especially drawn to black and grey realism and detailed hand-drawn work.

​

Before starting my journey in tattooing, I spent 12 years working as a nail artist, specializing in intricate custom designs. A few years ago, I decided to follow a longtime dream and begin learning tattooing so I could bring my artistic ideas to life in a completely new way.

​

I'm especially inspired by mystical and mythological creatures, dark imagery, and horror-inspired characters. I'm constantly learning, refining my technique, and developing my own artistic style. I love unusual concepts and am always open to collaborating with clients to turn interesting ideas into unique, personal pieces.

​

Outside of tattooing and art, I'm a huge animal lover. I love spending my free time with my dog, who happens to look a lot like Anubis — which makes her pretty much the perfect companion for me. My little collection of creatures also includes a Bengal cat — basically my own tiny house leopard — a snake, and a lizard. Animals, mythology, dark art, and the strange and unusual have always been a big part of what inspires me.
