Sandy Tran

Artist | Realism | Fine Line | Technical Precision

Sandy Tran’s commitment to the art of tattooing was forged during the 2008 recession, a catalyst that turned a passion into a dedicated professional career. With 16 years of experience, Sandy has honed her skills under the guidance of notable artists like Christian O’Reilly and Arnaldo Radeschi. Currently based at Inked Las Vegas in the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino, she thrives on the talent and high-energy camaraderie of her studio team.

Sandy’s artistic style is defined by a love for intricate detail. While she specializes in realism—working masterfully in both color and black and grey—she maintains a deep appreciation for the clean lines of traditional tattoos and the technical challenge of minimalism. She is particularly inspired by the current fine line trend, valuing the extreme precision and technical focus required to make every tattoo as sharp as possible.

Her philosophy is centered on the client; Sandy views her work as the art of adorning the person, collaborating closely with every guest to realize their unique vision. Having grown up in Hawaii, her ability to find beauty in all things—even the “ugly”—is deeply influenced by a close connection to nature. When she isn’t in the studio, Sandy is likely exploring nature through a camera lens, traveling, or listening to metal and death rap.
