Art with Intention
Nastasya is a multidisciplinary handpoke and machine tattoo artist based in Chicago. Her practice is shaped by years of deep human connection and rooted in an exploration of the human experience through symbol, symmetry, and the search for harmony and balance.
MY JOURNEY
Chicago-based, with roots across continents.
After years of working nomadically across North, South, and Central America, I chose Chicago as my home.
Occasional guest spots and travel remain part of my practice, but my energy now belongs to one city, one studio, and one deep and unhurried body of work.
COLLECTIONS
My practice is rooted in presence, harmony, and transformation.
I work with both handpoke and machine, chosen deliberately according to the needs of each design and placement. The ancient technique of handpoke brings stillness and intimacy to the process. The precision of modern machine work serves what handpoke cannot. Together, they allow the work to be exactly what it needs to be.
This is not fast tattooing. This is deliberate creation. At its core, my practice honors the body as sacred space and is approached with care, patience, and deep respect for the person wearing it.
