BROOKLYN-BASED TATTOO ARTIST

Koal Ly-Bishop is a multicultural female tattoo artist based in NYC. After spending the better part of her life as a classical pianist, she shifted her focus towards her passion for visual art and became a tattoo artist. She now specializes in black and gray, fine line, pointillism, illustrative, and micro realism styles. In her free time you can find her playing bass in a punk rock band! Koal is very caring of her clients and always seeks to give them a comfortable and warming experience while in her chair. She’s currently a resident artist at Nice Tattoo Parlor in Williamsburg.

Amazing clients have allowed me to produce work I am proud of.

  • "This was my 4th tattoo and by far the best, most wholesome and enjoyable experience I’ve had so far! Koal is awesome, incredibly compassionate and very genuine. We had a lovely conversation and the experience was the least painful. The studio itself is also very welcoming and all the staff are so nice! Highly, highly recommend especially if you’re looking for tattoos of pets/animals."
