Bandida Silva

Bandiidas Ink has been in the making almost half my life. The struggles, hardships, trauma, blocks and even losses aren't something I regret. From the streets, we were summoned. ... Growing up with my hood friends doing hood shit, our hearts massive but our lights dimming. Many of my beloved people were called back to creator. Kept on fighting, blinded by ambition and dollars. Shiny stuff, fake hair, fake smiles, fake friends, drama and violence. Swam so deep in that dark sea, I barely made it out. Rebuild, everything I knew had to be un done. Chasing the dream, now turned to chasing peace. Bandiidas Ink isn't just my business, it's my life. Today, my dreams are my reality. I'm not here to boast, because these dreams aren't only for me to keep. I don't post tattoos every day, I don't even have a tattoo community or friends. I'm not considered successful after a decade in this industry, even disrespected. I'm a mom and my family and health always come first. My dream was to be loved, and to give love. Every tattoo I have done, Ive prayed, to be able to ink w love and only love. I might not be the next Kat Von D or Tatu Baby; fuck em. I'm Bandida, I only give you real, raw, honest vibes. I will do my best to help create your vision. The freedom, love & peace in my life is worth way more than fame or gold. I'm still on hold for tattoos, but art will be available for commission soon! A big thank you to all those who support me, and a huge hug to my day ones. Much love, Bandida.
