Andrea “Andy” Valente is an internationally recognized realism tattoo artist known for her exceptional attention to detail, whether working on skin or traditional media. Her portfolio showcases hyper-realistic tattoos alongside fine art portraits crafted in graphite, charcoal, and pastel.

Originally from Argentina, Andrea established a respected career as a studio owner and artist, creating work for well-known figures in film and music across Argentina and the United States. Now based in the U.S., she continues to bring her expertise and artistic vision to every piece she designs.

Andrea specializes in full-color realism, black and grey, micro-realism, fine line blackwork, geometric compositions, and advanced cover-ups. One of her signature strengths is transforming existing tattoos into completely new works of art—seamlessly and without the need for laser removal.

“Cover-up work is one of the greatest challenges in my craft, but also one of my favorite parts of the process. I love taking something old and giving it new life.”
