HI! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CONSIDERING MY WORK! Artizmylov is A PRIVATE TATTOO STUDIO in Alexandria., VA.
“Love, the artist.” She goes by love.
Love, the artist, is one of a kind. She uses her passion for creating art to express herself and curate an environment that may encourage others to feel confident in their skin. She brings lifelong learning (backed by formal art education) to her tattoo chair. After attaining her Bachelor’s Degree in Painting, she attended M.I.C.A to earn her Degree in Business of Art and Design.
Speaking of her chair, Love, the Artist ensures all are welcome in her space. Inclusivity and creating a safe space for clients to feel seen and heard are paramount to her craft. Artizmylov Studio is a safe place for everyone, including women, plus-sized bodies, LGBTQIA+, and dark-skinned clients. We understand the importance of representation and strive to make everyone feel valued and respected.

Had an incredible experience at Artizmylov. love, The artist, does absolutely incredible work! Her level of detail and her artwork are beyond impressive. I've already gotten so many compliments on my tattoo. The experience itself was great and I while certain parts of a tattoo can be painful, it was aided by how relaxed and comfortable I felt.
-Nicholas
I had two tattoos done by Love, the artist and to say I love both would be a complete understatement. I sent her pictures for reference and she created something beautiful both times, adding her own unique spin. She is very meticulous and her line work is super clean. She’s very professional and lighthanded! The best tattoo experience I have ever had both times, and I can’t wait to get back in her chair ASAP!

I flew from Los Angeles to Maryland just to work with Artizmylove/Love. It was well worth the trip. She created an amazing piece of work based off some loose concepts I gave her. It’s pretty amazing how large of a piece with so much detail she’s able to accomplish in such a short time (my upper arm is now filled from shoulder to elbow in just an 8hr session). In addition to her skill, she also makes sure you are comfortable, checks in often and is just a solid person. Highly suggest if she has a rare opening, you grab it and invest in a high-quality piece. You won’t regret it.

My experience with Love, Artizmylov, was literally the best tattoo experience I have ever had. From the collaborative process of ideation to the actual sessions to create and complete my sleeve was an amazing experience. Love is absolutely brilliant. Her ability to translate her deep knowledge of art, the medium of tattooing and her commitment to learning as much as possible about the craft made me feel immediately at ease. [Love] embodies such a high degree of professionalism and a great personality. I have definitely had tattoo experiences in which I did not click with love, the artist. has an easeful disposition while still maintaining hours of intense focus.
If you have done the due diligence of researching outstanding artists, then you would have come across Artizmylov. If you are looking to adorn your body with ART, not just some bangers (no shade), then Artizmylov should be in your top considerations. 10 out 10.

Style Preferences
Love specializes in a few styles of art: realism, portraiture, Polynesian tribal, and colorful floral tattoos. She beautifully marries her formal education, masters in fine art, with her unique approach to tattooing. If you are looking for larger pieces, Love is the tattoo artist for you. She creates works of art on her clients’ skin with a quality that will last a lifetime.
Love also specializes in tattooing melanated skin as well as teaching other artists how to tattoo people of color. This is important as there is an underrepresentation of Black Tattoo Artists and those with the knowledge and skill to tattoo those within our community.
