HYPEBAE Pick: Sweden-born tattoo artist Miryam Lumpini is currently one of the biggest names in the male-dominated tattoo industry. The LA-based artist, who owns a private tattoo studio, is known for her signature moth design, as she tells us in our interview:
“I have always been very fascinated by moths in the way that they are nocturnal but also attracted to light… They also remind me of our human patterns. How at night when people usually get off work, they finally get to dress however they want, they might go out, be more vibrant feeling, more free, flying around like moths attracted to the lights.”
Her intricate work has attracted Jhené Aiko, model Slick Woods and more to get inked by her.
