Hi, I'm Marissa van Kaam, born on the 15th of May 1993. I got my first tattoo when I was 15 years old and since then I have been inspired by the whole tattoo-scene/world.
I had my mind set on working as an apprentice in a tattoo-shop, so I e-mailed some tattooshops and asked if they would take on an apprentice and luckily one did! So in April 2010 I walked into the tattoo-shop with a lot of drawings, so the artist could check them out.
It was a fun time, and I learned a lot. I've been an apprentice at his shop for 3,5 years. When the apprenticeship was over I decided to move on. I booked a holiday to Curacao for two weeks. But two weeks became two years. I met with Byron, a local tattoo-artist and he offered me a job. I worked in his shop for a year and then I decided to start for myself.
So here I am and this is what I do.
