Our Artists: Mona
Looking for women tattoo artists near me? Hey, I’m Monika. I did my first tattoo back in 2020, but it took me a long time to actually start tattooing people. Read more below.
Artist Bio
Monika | Women Tattoo Artists Near Me
An quick introduction to me. I’ve always wanted to create art on skin, but my mental health challenges and not knowing I was neurodivergent made the journey much slower. After my first tattoo, I took tiny steps – learning, practising, and slowly building up my confidence.
I never had a classic apprenticeship. I’m mostly self-taught, but along the way I met Symone, who gave me so much support and space to grow. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to gain the experience I needed over the years. The whole process of building my confidence in tattooing took a long time, but now I’m proud to tattoo people with full certainty at Ashton Ink.
My Tattoo Style & Artistic Focus
I specialise in fineline, dotwork, abstract compositions, and illustrative designs. I love botanical and nature-inspired pieces, feminine designs, and darker, melancholic, witchy vibes. My work is deeply shaped by my emotions and experiences.
Outside tattooing, I create traditional illustrations, watercolours, acrylic paintings. I’ve also had phases of making macrame and linocuts. I just love working with my hands, crafting, cutting, and getting messy. Creating is simply a huge part of who I am. My best work happens when clients fully trust me with their ideas, allowing my creativity to flow and create something truly unique.
Availability & Bookings
I always open books a month in advance and I keep you updated about my current availability.
I work only in regular days between Mon-Fri, 10am – 4pm. Bookings are done after paying deposit via the Venue app. Sometimes walk-ins are available. You can always contact me on IG @monammoss or WhatsApp 07873481031.
A Little About Me
When I’m not drawing or creating projects, most of my life is spent being a mum and juggling a million things at once. I often come up with a new idea or hobby that absorbs me 100% for a month, only to then completely forget about it. 
I’m an ex-plantaholic – there was a time I had nearly 200 plants squeezed into my little flat. I’ve recovered (kind of), but I’m always happy to share what I’ve learned along the way. I’m also a huge cat lover with a dark and weird sense of humour.

Some of Mona's happy clients
I had been looking for a long time and wanted something just for me and unique! Monika connected with me on Instagram and I discovered she was able to design me my own tattoo which means so much to me! She is an absolute amazing artist and such a fantastic creative flare! This was my first tattoo. I have a feeling I shall be back again.

I just wanted to say at the beginning that I recommend this studio 100%! The first tattoo I got there was in 2020 and to this day I’m still loyal to them. I’ve been tattooed by Symone and Mona. Always had a good time with them and they made sure that I’m okay. Very pleasant atmosphere, clean place and lovely people.

Thank you so much Monika. She went above and beyond I cannot recommend them enough.
