Nina K Pirola is a Sydney-based tattoo artist who works under the moniker Ink Sphinx.
Pirola was recently part of The Other Art Fair at Barangaroo (May 2023) where she was tattooing on the ground at the fair and promoted in the program with ‘your new forever piece could end up on your arm – not your wall next month’. Her inclusion exemplifies the blurry worlds of fine art, street art and ink art in contemporary culture today.
