(via stupidDOPE.com) We here at stupidDOPE love art in whatever form it presents itself, so when exploring the canals and alleys of Amsterdam, it wasn’t too difficult to locate where the coolest artists reside. Who’s more dope than a down-to-earth, well-traveled tattoo artist? Well, her name is Nikita Beaux and she encompasses the aforementioned characteristics of the inked life & so much more. With a portfolio specializing in inking renditions of animals, female-centric designs, & mind-melding image-blending, Ms. Beaux stays fully booked for Amsterdam locals and tourists alike.

Armed with a steady hand and a well-polished aesthetic, Nikita tackles each tattoo as if it’s her last, with a determinate attitude that would rival the dedication of a heart surgeon. But don’t let us spoil the interview!

In the video above, Nikita discusses her love for tattoos, and inspirations that shaped her successful career today. Stay tuned, as her very own tattoo shop(name to be disclosed) opens on April 17th in Amsterdam. You had best believe we will be there to get inked the very next time we return to the Netherlands!

Shout out to Subtle T for hooking up the dope beat. Pictures courtesy of Nigel van der Horst.
