6th installment for this groundbreaking collective art show, created in 2010 and showcasing the fine art of the most talented and cutting edge female tattooers around! 

Born as a way to share and support female tattoo artists and to pay respect to the veterans of the trade, the LadiesLadies! Art show is transforming into a social event, where women of the industry (but not only) can gather together also to support a cause! 

This year the artshow is a benefit and all proceeds will go to Planned Parenthood NYC as it is important to take a stand and make our voices heard. 

A huge thank you goes to Alex and Matt of ThreeKingsTattoo, and to all the artists that are donating their art and are supportive in any way. 

The LLAS stands by women’s right to health care and to informed choices .. we stands with PP!

Planned Parenthood NYC- representatives will be present at the opening. 

 

We are looking forward to a great opening and a smashing art show!

Born in 2010, from the idea and collaboration between tattooers missElvia and Emma Griffiths, the art show has seen guest curators like artists/tattooers Magie Serpica, Pat Sinatra, and MartinaSecondoRusso, and the participation of some prestigious and established names of tattooing, as well as youngest talented apprentices. 

This year curators Elvia Iannaccone Gezlev and Kate Archer will present a selection of amazing tattoo artists, some of them identifying as queer, to remind that this event is open and inclusive of the LGBTQ community .

 

While the goal is still creating a conversation and a platform  where lady tattooers and the public can socialize, check out cool art, and support each other, 

lets not forget that women were definitely a minority in what used to be a men’s dominated trade...

Things are so much different today, women fell in love with this craft and in the past 30 years or so the number of female artists getting into professional tattooing has grown exponentially, creating spaces where everybody can feel at ease and accepted and  making this a real important change in our contemporary society. 

The LLAS was born with the intention to honor the ladies who paved the way for all women tattooers to come and flourish, and with the aim to be as inclusive as possible.  

 

The LLAS takes place in a different location with every installment, and this year we are honored to announce Three Kings Tattoo will be hosting us!

 

Planned Parenthood NYC- representatives will be present at the opening. 

 We are looking forward to a great opening and a smashing art show! 

 

Women to the front!
