My name is Nicole Palapoli, I am a New York artist whose entire life has been driven by my exploration of visual arts. My artwork exists to illuminate our soul’s experience in human form; the duality of love and heartbreak, our connection with nature, sacred symbols and the unified field of consciousness. As it moves through me and onto it’s surface, my artwork has given my life a purpose beyond my own healing. My wish is to evoke reflective conversation, deep connections, emotional and spiritual healing in the hearts of my viewers as we co-create a more conscious existence. I graduated from the School of Visual Arts in NYC in 2002, studied Art Education at Queens College and studied abroad in Italy and Spain. After becoming a High School art teacher for the Board of Education, I felt completely restricted and needed a full time outlet for my creativity. I was introduced to tattooing in 2007 and quickly reinvented my life and never looked back. I am deeply honored and grateful to adorn human bodies and take it very seriously. My tattoo style is fluid, but as it evolves, I gravitate more toward color portraits, pinup girls and nature themed pieces rather than rigid geometrics. In 2012, I opened my first shop “Body Language Tattoo” in Astoria, Queens. After 7 successful years of business, I decided to close the doors in exchange for more flexibility to pursue my personal artwork and opened “Innerspace Gallery”. It was a private studio, in which I tattooed, sold various types of merchandise with my art as the theme, as well as offered virtual critiques, paintings, body paint sessions, paint & sips, murals, lessons and demos. Now I have just joined the crew at Red Baron Ink and I’m excited to see where this leads my art… hope to tattoo you soon 🙂 and thank you for exploring my artwork!
