Once Upon a time…

Ariel was born and raised in the middle of rural New England-nowhere. Close to Boston, but just far enough away she didn’t pick up the thick accent or notoriously unfriendly Boston attitude.

Ariel has been tattooing since 2009. Although her interests are constantly changing, her art is largely influenced by nature, Alfons (Alphonse) Mucha, hot rods, Lisa Frank, and childhood cartoons/movies. She has worked in both walk-in shops and appointment only private studios. While interested in lots of styles of tattooing she leans heavily towards fun color tattoos.

In her free time she’s hanging out with her pups, exploring restaurants with her soul mate, going to Disney (again), or doing nerdy things.

Sara Silva is a visual artist from Massachusetts who received a BFA in animation at Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston. Her artwork is heavily inspired by animation from all over the world, though her focus is on illustration and tattoo artistry. Like the cartoons and anime Sara is inspired by, her artwork is colorful, expressive, and fun.

She has been given the opportunity to apprentice under Ariel Robinson at Candy Machine Tattoo in Bellingham Massachusetts, where she is currently tattooing!
