About Me

Hello, I’m Nicole Panagiotidou, a professional tattoo artist based in Greece. I began my tattooing journey in 2014, but I like to think of myself as an artist in the broadest sense of the word. In addition to tattooing, I also express my creativity through painting with oils, sewing ,creating costumes, and photography.

My artist influences comes from my family-
My dad taught me how to use and make tattoo machines, a skill he learned in prison. My mom taught me how to draw and how to find beauty in art. My grandmother taught me how to sew, as my grandfather taught me me the art of hagiography.

 

69
Welcome to my page, where the number 69 holds a special meaning. Just like the concept of “You take what you give,” I believe in the balance of energy and reciprocity in life. Remember, “6 can easily be 9 if you just turn your phone screen,” a reminder to always accept the opposite side in all situations.

 

Here you will uncover pieces of my personality that resonate with each of you. I tell stories of resilience, of those who have faced difficult times but never given up. I celebrate the transformation of black sheep into beautiful creatures who chase their dreams, and I honor the strength of single mothers and children who grow up without parents. I am drawn to the unique and the extraordinary in every individual.

 

I also shed light on the journeys of individuals who have battled drug addiction and emerged victorious, as well as those who have served time in prison and faced the harsh realities of life. Their stories of redemption and perseverance inspire me to create art that reflects the complexities of the human experience.

 

While I may not know the specifics of your journey, I understand the emotions that accompany it. It is through these shared feelings that I create the art you will discover on this page.

 

Matryoshka 🪆
“As a proud half-Russian, the matryoshka holds deep meaning for me, reminding me of my roots and my beautiful mother. Beyond symbolizing motherhood, it represents the layers within us all—the many versions of ourselves we can discover and choose to be. Just like a matryoshka reveals more with each layer, we’re constantly uncovering new sides of ourselves on our journey of self-discovery.”
