About Cova:
I’ve been an artist my whole life, since I was a kid. My family was big into the lowrider scene and my dad used to buy me lowrider magazines and comics. I used to love drawing the cars and the characters from the comic books. From there, it just took off. Throughout the years I just progressed in art with being a graffiti artist, charcoal drawing and painting. I always told people my whole life growing up. “If I could make a living off my art, I would die happy.” Lol Little did I know, it would be through tattooing lol I got my apprenticeship through an artist name Paige Nelson- Genaw. She got my foot in the door and taught me to stay humble. Throughout my apprenticeship I began to progress everyday and eventually became an artist 5 months into my apprenticeship. I was determined to learn more anyway I could and soak in any information or knowledge I could that had to do with making my art that much better. From there I came across so many talented artist who had years under their belts, help me and kinda guide me thru my earlier stages! Shout out to Mikey Odell and Josh Huichan! After a year and a couple months, I met Meme Kunkel and Manuel Flowers, they were kind enough to take me under their wings and that’s when my work started to immediately change for the better. With the short amount of time I’ve been tattooing, I’ve grown so much and with great help. Although I have so much more to learn. I’m just happy to be apart of the game. I am now a traveling tattoo artist and a tattoo artist @ Black Filigree Tattoo. My new home and I love it. Everything happens for a reason and excited to see what my future has to offer💯 |
