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 Dr Pickles, is that Ink Nurse has artist ownership and they don’t. We speak the language, we are deeply embedded in the culture and industry and we are literally our own demographic.
We come from within the industry, not outside it.
