Masha Parfenov is a queer Russian/Ukrainian/American tattoo artist whose work reflects an extensive background in fine art and design. After graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology, Masha spent over six years as a textile designer before ultimately deciding to simultaneously pursue tattooing in 2023.

Grounded in over a decade of academic fine art training and refined through mentorship with experienced tattoo artists, Masha brings an inclusive perspective to her craft. Her style blends delicate floral motifs, illustrative design, and elements of realism with bold, abstract blackwork—creating pieces that are both visually striking and deeply personal to each individual client.
