Nikki Simpson co-owns EverBlack and tattoos there full-time. She started at 19 with a traditional apprenticeship in Tucson, Arizona, in 2011, then worked guest spots and conventions across the US before settling in New York. She competed on Ink Master Season 8, co-hosted Ink Master Angels for two seasons and later returned as a guest coach. Her style is romantic illustrative realism, in soft high-contrast black-and-grey and saturated colour: witches, goddesses, roses and ornamental accents.
