Artist Lead Product Development & Ownership
Lily Parker - A 14-year tattoo artist veteran and studio owner. Our beloved creative force behind New Product Development and Wholesale Studio Partnerships.
One of the many reasons customers and artists choose us over other brands, is that Ink Nurse has artist ownership and they don’t. We come from within the industry, not outside it.
