KIMMY — (AURA.ONE)

(NATIVE) SURINAMESE / FEMALE / 1994 / ROTTERDAM
FAVES: MATCHA / ORCHIDS / DINNER PARTIES

Born and raised in 94’ Rotterdam, my creative journey started on paper and walls before I picked up a tattoo machine. Before finding my path in tattooing, I worked as a waitress in an Italian restaurant and took on all kinds of side quests. From interning at an airbrush studio to cleaning nightclubs.

I began tattooing in 2016, and from the moment I started it brought me direction in life. Since then, I've worked in various shops in Rotterdam and spent time tattooing in Amsterdam as well. Collaborating with talented artists over the years helped me grow, not just in technique, but in shaping the experience I offer to my guests.

Now, after nearly a decade in the craft, I’m ready to take my work on the road, meeting international clients where they are.

I find myself connecting most with collectors of fine art and the general finer things in life. People who have an eye for detail, design, and aesthetics. During our sessions, we bond over shared experiences or love for food and music.

Making the external world a little more beautiful — one tattoo at a time.

{My most asked question during my sessions is probably where the name Aura One comes from. Scroll down to my oldest posts on instagram to find out!}
