Raven: Las Vegas Tattoo Artist at Inked Tattoo Studios

Artist | Color Realism | Movie Themes | Mixed Styles

Raven Wood’s artistic journey began long before she ever picked up a professional machine. As a child, she treated her own skin as a canvas for painting, a fascination that evolved into a lifelong passion for tattooing shortly after she graduated high school. Today, with 10 years of experience, Raven has established herself as a versatile master of color realism, black and grey, and unique mixed styles.

A self-taught artist with a deep respect for the history of art, Raven draws inspiration from a wide array of influences, ranging from the surrealism of Salvador Dalí and the raw expression of Egon Schiele to modern masters like Yomico. Her tattooing philosophy centers on her clients; she views each project as a “bridge of expression” where she translates a person’s unique ideas into imagery through her own technical knowledge and creativity. Her ultimate goal is a final result that brings genuine happiness to those she inks.

Raven thrives in the high-performance and professional environmentat Inked, where she can push the boundaries of her craft. She is particularly fond of movie themes—her Queen Amidala piece remains a career highlight— and the vibrant world of color surrealism. Outside the studio, Raven remains a true creative, spending her time painting, exploring photography, and immersed in movies, or finding balance through cycling and hiking. And while she is known for her skill with a needle, few would guess she is also an exceptional cook.
