Lia Massari is a professional tattoo artist based in Northwest Ohio, specializing in fine line and black-and-grey work. She currently works at Tooth and Nail Tattoo.

Lia’s journey into tattooing began in 2021, when she took a leap of faith to pursue her passion, transitioning from a career in the service industry to one centered around art. This decision followed years of personal involvement in art, during which she consistently sought to make creativity a central focus of her life.

Throughout her apprenticeship, Lia was fortunate to receive mentorship that emphasized the importance of traditional tattooing fundamentals and the rich history behind the craft. While she specializes in fine line work, her respect for traditional tattoo imagery remains strong, and she enjoys incorporating elements of this style into her pieces. She also has a growing interest in portraiture and looks forward to expanding this area of her portfolio.

Beyond tattooing, Lia maintains a strong connection to her local music scene, which has been a significant part of her life for many years. Whether attending shows, booking bands, or creating band artwork and flyers, her involvement in music remains a driving force in her creative endeavors. Tattooing has become a fulfilling extension of this passion, allowing her to channel her artistic energy into a career.
