Erika Gardiner @tradatatts
Erika began her tattoo career in 2016 at another prominent Adelaide studio, learning alongside many diverse and successful industry artists.
In 2021 Erika moved over to Black Diamond to continue to develop her personal style and establish herself as our leading bold / traditional artist.
Erika specialises in American-traditional style tattooing, with heavy influence from world-famous artists such as Sailor Jerry, Don Ed Hardy and Lyle Tuttle to name a few. She is also well-versed in mandala and geometric-style tattoos.
Her bold lines and bright colours are heavily reminiscent of old-school traditional tattooing. Her designs offer feelings of nostalgia and a sense of familiarity, yet still remain unique and evolutionary to the style.
If you'd like to work with Erika on your next tattoo, simply fill out a consultation request and she will be in touch.
“Quick thank you to Erika Gardiner @tradatatts for the amazing work she did for my son and myself in memory of my late Dad. Her attention to the design and the finished tattoos exceeded our expectations and something we will carry with us with great pride.”
