Teresa Sharpe: Fantastical Color Illustrative Tattoos
Teresa Sharpe is a female tattoo artist and fine artist who is the co-owner of Unkindness Art in Richmond, Virginia. The woman-owned tattoo shop was opened by Sharpe and fellow tattooer Erin Chance in 2015. Fun fact—they bonded over hairless cats.
Sharpe is known for her large-scale, color illustrative work, and many of her pieces feature fantasy elements. She often takes on multi-day projects such as full back pieces and extensive torso pieces. In addition to tattooing, Sharpe is a talented painter who uses oil and pastels.
She was the winner of Season 2 of “Best Ink” on Oxygen where she competed against fellow artists including Ali Baker and DJ Tambe. In a 2014 interview with Another Tattoo, Sharpe says that Kelly Doty encouraged her to participate in the reality television competition.
