Studio Artist- Sophi Newell

Hi, I’m Sophi.

I started tattooing in 2019 and joined the BodyMods team in 2026. I became a tattoo artist because I’ve always loved creating art that carries meaning. Tattooing allows me to connect with people, tell stories through my work, and create something lasting that becomes a part of someone’s life.

I work in several styles, including Traditional, Neo-Traditional, Illustrative, Japanese, and Chicano. My favorites are Traditional and Neo-Traditional — I love their bold designs, timeless feel, and the creativity they allow while still honoring classic tattoo roots.

What really sets my work apart is my focus on precision and clean aesthetics. I bring a detail-oriented approach to every piece, combining fine-line techniques with thoughtful design so each tattoo feels intentional, personal, and uniquely tailored to the client.

Outside of the studio, I love diving into creative projects like crochet and digital illustration, spending time with my pets, and finding new ways to explore art and design.
Fun fact: before tattooing, I was deeply involved in nail art and even won competitions for runway-level designs. Creating detailed nail art and tattoos might seem different, but both require the same steady hand, creativity, and love for detail that I bring to my work today.
