ABOUT THE ARTIST

Born in 2004 and raised in Nashville, TN, Bella Barbero began her creative journey before all else.

Originally speaking to form a connection through art, her journey went from briefly studying Art Education, to oil painting and illustration commission work, and finally tattoo artistry. And third time was a charm.

Bella B began her apprentice journey in Aug 2025, and quickly went from learning the industry basics, to practicing on fake skin, to adorning herself and her community with art.

In these early stages of her career, she is open to all styles and subjects for knowledges sake! With plenty of room to grow, she's still learning day by day from the talented team of East Tattoo Collective.

The team of ETC holds a grand total of over 60 years of tattooing in only 3 individual artists. This has been such a pivotal, safe space to learn every day, growing as a person, an artist, and brand.

Chipper Harbin, her mentor, is talented beyond belief, his work showcasing unique and modern artistry, and every piece he creates embodies his creative vision in a way only he can achieve.

This is just the beginning of something special, thank you for being a part of it.
