Meet Monica
Monica (Balazova Black) is an tattoo apprentice and visual artist based on the Gold Coast at Lost Prophecy Studio. Her tattooing style is developing in black and grey, illustrative and fine line.
A Gold Coast local, Monica is proud to connect with her community and cherishes the ability to create art, memories and mementos on skin for her tattoo clients. Always drawing and making art prior to tattooing, this role is not only an extension of her artistic practice, but a chance to create tattoos for clients to enjoy on their life’s journey. My goal is to constantly push myself, learn and become the best artist I can be.
Monica has previously exhibited with Acclaim Magazine, Honey Bones Gallery, BSIDE Gallery, Brunswick Street Gallery, PUPA, Primary Arcade and The Brisbane Collective.
The land which I live and work on belongs to the Bundjalung people. I pay my respects to their elders - past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.
