Ivanka was raised in South Florida, where she developed a love for art at an early age. She pursued that passion in the form of culinary arts for many years and eventually transitioned into the space of hyper realistic tattoo art, which she specializes in and has traveled globally to perfect her work.

In order to gain deeper perspective and explore different techniques, she moved to Europe where she was a founder of a tattoo studio in Annecy, France. The studio specialized in large scale Black & Grey realism and attracted international clientele. In addition, Ivanka used this time abroad to immerse herself in different tattoo cultures; visiting other countries to work alongside artists in Hong Kong, Japan, United Kingdom, Portugal, Thailand, and Spain.

Ivanka now lives in Fort Lauderdale, FL where she works in a bespoke private studio with 2 other artists that provide her with the creative space to continue to produce beautiful work. In a recent interview she said, “I’m moving in a direction to link myself between the two worlds, of tattooing and Fine/Pop Art.

It’s important not just as artists but as human beings that we keep growing, and challenging ourselves in different mediums. I’m very grateful to those that I’ve made connections with over the years and I have met some of the most important people in my life because of Art.”
