Lamia Karahanlı

 St. Petersburg, Florida, USA


 My name is Lamia Karahanlı, a Turkish tattoo artist specializing in fine line, linework, color, and micro tattoos. My passion for art began in childhood through drawing, building a strong artistic foundation that naturally led me into tattooing. After completing my professional training at Cleopatra Ink Academy in Türkiye, I continued refining my skills alongside experienced artists. For the past two years, I have been building my career in the United States and currently work in St. Petersburg, Florida. Inspired by nature, emotion, mythology, architecture, and personal stories, I create tattoos that combine precision, elegance, and lasting meaning. My goal is to design timeless, custom pieces that clients will proudly wear for a lifetime.


 To me, tattooing is a lifelong journey of learning, discipline, and artistic growth. Every new project allows me to refine my technique, explore fresh ideas, and continue evolving as an artist. Meeting people from different cultures and hearing their personal stories constantly inspires my creative process, giving every design greater meaning. My work is guided by balance, precision, and thoughtful simplicity, with every detail intentionally contributing to the final composition. I believe a great tattoo becomes part of a person’s identity and remains meaningful for years to come. As part of my artistic journey, I will participate in the Villain Arts Tattoo Convention in Tampa, Florida, on November 20, 2026, where I look forward to sharing my work and connecting with fellow artists.
