Amanda Wachob: Modern Art Master
Amanda Wachob is a New-York-based tattoo artist and fine artist who is credited with pioneering the watercolor tattoo trend and taking a modernist approach to the technique of tattooing.
Wachob’s work is recognized nationally and internationally, and she’s partnered with a slew of museums and galleries including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New Museum, the Museum of Arts and Design, The Whitney and The Museum of Contemporary Art Denver.
Her tattoos resemble abstract, contemporary canvases. They move and eddy on the skin. They drip with color and swirl like smoke. Additionally, Wachob specializes in realistic, painterly floral tattoos and innovative color-blocked geometric shapes.
Wachob uses tattooing as a medium to pursue other artistic work outside of a tattoo studio. She’s printed abstract tattoos on silk, used tattoo machines to tattoo lemons, leather, and paper, and she creates large-scale pieces with temporary tattoo paper and tattoo ink. She also inked lines of a love poem on 30 different people in 2018 to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
In 2015, Ad Age named Wachob one of the most creative people in the world.
