Hira Lupe

Meet your artist,

I am a non-binary artist and musician who has been tattooing for over 12 years. Originally from Italy, I started tattooing in Milan before coming to NYC in 2014 to play guitar for a well-known Brooklyn band.

In 2018-2023, I opened Brooklyn’s Secret Fire Tattoo, a popular boutique tattoo studio where our priority is creating a welcoming, safe environment for all people.

Outside of tattooing, I love hanging with my dogs and cats, photography, making music, eating delicious vegan food, reading, philosophy, and mysticism.

I specialize in black work including botanical, illustrative, and ornamental work, and enjoy taking inspiration from nature’s propensity to be both beautiful and violent.

I love to work with clients on large-scale projects and focus on creating designs that work alongside the unique flow of every body.

I am passionate about creating a comfortable, safe, inclusive environment for every client, whether this is your first tattoo or your fiftieth.
