My name is Nikki Powills, I’m owner/artist at Swanky Bits Tattoo in Iowa City. I’ve began tattooing in 2007 under Stingray at Exile Tattoo. I began doing guest artist traveling in 2010. Over my travels I’ve met and worked with other artists in Iowa, Illinois, Oregon, Florida and Georgia. I specialize in an illustrative style, utilizing bold lines with finer detail work. Whether black and grey or color, I love to bring ideas to life.
