I was born and raised in Yakutia, a Native Sakha woman shaped by isolation, endurance, and art. Yakutia - is The coldest inhabited place on Earth. Until I was 17, I had never seen the world beyond it. When I was sent to Prague to attend art school- taught entirely in Czech, which I had to learn in a year.

I didn’t know then that it would change the direction of my life.

Tattooing wasn’t part of the plan. At first, it was survival. My mother was raising me and my siblings alone, and her teacher’s salary couldn’t support the cost of living in Europe. I learned to tattoo quickly, out of necessity. What started as a way to make money became the thing I couldn’t live without.

I was accepted into one of the Czech Republic’s most prestigious universities to study landscape architecture, but tattooing had already taken over. I spent lectures sketching designs instead of taking notes, rushing to the studio to meet clients, living two lives at once, until I finally chose the one that felt honest. I left university to tattoo full-time, and I’ve never looked back.

Tattooing gave me everything - my community, my friendships, my confidence, and a sense of purpose. It took me across countries and into rooms I never imagined being in. I’ve worked with Inked Magazine and Inked NYC, appeared in Inked Magazine, competed on Ink Master Season 16, and tattooed artists and athletes including Teyana Taylor, Nick Cannon, Swae Lee, Kid Ink, Adriel Favela, and many more.

But the work has always mattered more than the names.

I specialize in black and grey realism, with a deep understanding of how tattoos heal, age, and live on every skin tone . Every piece I create is intentional, designed to move with the body and stay powerful over time.

Now, I’m a mother of two and the owner of Chroma Tattoo & Art Studio in Jersey City, New Jersey. Chroma was built as a space for thoughtful, honest tattooing. For the people who care about meaning as much as aesthetics.

If you’re here, you’re probably not looking for something trendy. You’re looking for something that lasts.
