About My Art
Sabrina Robinson Art isn't a brand, or a big shop, it's just me! A small, woman owned business going on ten years of creating art for myself and the community. I believe self expression is an integral part of the human experience. Be it drawing, writing, painting, or singing, it's part of my purpose in life to share that part of myself with the world. The ability to give our experience and interpretations of life to other humans is a gift.
Additionally, I've always wanted to help people and make some impact no matter how big or small. Through art I've been able to do that. Whatever the medium, art can help us through grief, it can give us confidence, or provide artistic representation of our desires and style. It can open minds and connect us with others or help us see ourselves.
I hope you can feel all of this in my work! If you're interested in working together I'd love to help bring your visions to life. Tattoo inquiries may email Figure 8 Ink studios : Figure8ink@gmail.com
(Due to the current demand for tattoos, I am not able to take painting commissions at this time.)
About Me
I'm a twenty something person navigating my path and embracing my obstacles. My family and pets are extensions of myself, my friends are my family, my aquaintences and clients are my friends. My favorite things to do when I'm not making art include foraging, cooking, enjoying other artistic media (art,books,music, and film). My favorite places besides my cozy living room are local wildlife management areas, the VMFA, the beach, and i love a metro ride into the city. I've recently been blessed with opportunities to travel to New Orleans, Italy, and Greece. I'm currently located in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The art scene here is one of the spaces in which I've been able to grow and watch others flourish. If it weren't for the diverse, kind, and talented people here I wouldn't be the artist I am today. I started participating in local events when I was in high school and did so avidly until very recently and now they are more of a special treat. The two I still participate in are The Creepin it Real show every October and the Annual Figure 8 Ink Studios Event.

My love for art is what lead me to tattooing. Through high school art classes I was connected with Tricia, the shop owner at Figure 8 and now my close friend. Years after graduation, she sponsored my apprenticeship and gave me the keys to a career. During my apprenticeship I was working part time in Fair Trade, and finishing up at Germanna community college. There I found a passion for biology, psychology and pop culture. I graduated with an Associate's degree in educational psychology. Though I shifted away from teaching at public schools, I'm happy to have the option to teach at Figure 8 when my schedule allows. For now my focus is tattooing, one of the greatest gifts this life has offered me. I am honored to be connected to one of the oldest practices in human history.
In this life I've experienced beautiful, painful, and wonderful things. And with each new day I look forward to learning so much more.
