WHO I AM
Professional creep. Certified weirdo. Soul searcher.
Show me your darkness, and I’ll show you mine.
I’m Iva Marcina — a black and grey realism artist drawn to the places most people avoid.
I don’t tattoo trends. I tattoo tension. Contrast. The quiet war between light and shadow. My work lives in depth — layered textures, heavy blacks, soft transitions, and emotion you can feel before you understand it, or put words to it.
I’m interested in what’s underneath—the parts of you that don’t translate into small talk. The grief, the power, the obsession, the reverence. The things that shaped you.
Every piece I create is custom and intentional. I’m not here for filler pieces, safe ideas, or what’s trending on your algorithm.
This isn’t decoration without purpose—its the adornment of the soul, and bringing forth what lies beneath the surface.
If you’re looking for something surface-level, I’m not your artist.
Let’s build something that feels like it belongs to you.
I build tattoos that hold weight.
Come prepared to do the same.
