Tamara Touma 

 

I'm a 27 years old female artist based in Canada. Born and raised in Damascus, Syria, I relocated to Canada early 2018 with the goal in mind to become a professional tattoo artist.

​

Drawn by the beauty and complexity of the tattoo art I developed a passion for it and had a complete career change in 2017 from being an Architect to become a tattoo artist and have been pursuing it ever since. Started by self-teaching and learning the fundamentals of tattooing and tattoo design and all the different styles, to basic practice at home; tracing tattoo prints, copying the most common elements of each style, using the practice tattoo machine on fake skin and fruits. With the support of many friends who volunteered to be live canvases for my  skill improvement.

I've been developing my own designs and experimenting with different styles and elements to grow my personal skills and portfolio. I enjoy sacred geometry and Geometric style and American Traditional the most out of all styles. I'm now looking for an apprenticeship at a local Tattoo parlor.
