Like any other great artists, Nadya Natasha or known as Nadcil has her own quirks. I got my second tattoo from her and kept coming back despite the long wait because she's one of the most in demand tattoo artist in Indonesia among the youngsters. Here we are hanging out at her tattoo studio in Kuningan, Jakarta thinking what I'm going to get as a tattoo next.
Her art has always had a unique style and what's amazing is her patience to listen to her never ending customers. I know, because I was one of them. What makes her a great individual is her capability to have a strong sense of self and humbleness. Let's get to know her shall we?
