resident Artists of Verum Body Art Studio

Trained in classical drawing and painting techniques, Lin is a life-long artist who specializes in detailed black-and-grey portraiture and figure drawing. Her artworks use high contrast, intricate shading, and surrealistic aspects to blur the line between realism and fantasy.

Born in Tucson, AZ, and raised in Longmont, CO, Lin's passion for art began at an early age. Her artistic path was solidified in high school with her introduction to traditional oil painting and high-realism ballpoint pen drawings. She went on to study art at Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design and Front Range Community College, ultimately earning a Bachelor's in Fine Art from the University of Northern Colorado in 2017.

In 2015, Lin began her tattoo apprenticeship in Greeley, CO, but shifted focus to other artistic endeavors, including teaching drawing and painting at the former Schissler Academy of Fine Art in Loveland, CO. She returned to tattooing in 2023, and has since dedicated herself to honing her skills in this dynamic medium.

Lin believes that incredible tattoos take time, patience, inspiration, and absolute trust between the client and tattooer, and hopes to make every tattoo a meaningful experience.
