Tattoos by Cake is deeply devoted to the mission of creating safe spaces for women and LGBTQ+ folks. Hailing from Coney Island, Samantha Robles, also know as Tattoos by Cake or just simply ‘Cake’, is passionate about using her artwork to support minorities within the mainstream tattoo industry. Focusing on women and LGBTQ+ members of the tattoo community, Cake took time during the office X Tattoodo tattoo flash event to speak with us about her mission and hopes for the tattoo industry.
Mentioning she had a lot of trouble breaking into the tattoo scene, Cake realized that if she wanted to focus on this art form, she would have to teach herself. As soon as she was technically confident in her craft, Cake began supporting other artists, events, initiatives, and tattoo collectors who had experienced the same alienation and neglect in the mainstream tattoo industry. Finding the lack of representation and visibility for women, LGBTQ+, black and people of color, Cake makes it her mission to empower others through her tattoos.
Not only a tattoo artist, she and her partner have co-founded ‘Girls Only’, a safe space that offers creative experiences through tattooing, as well as inspiring community outreach. Partnering with local shelters, as well as non-profit institutions, Cake said that their last event raised funds to give 50 kids access to much-needed school supplies, backpacks, hair cuts, and a full day of fun. She hopes that in the future more initiatives such as these can come to fruition and that her dream of a Coney Island tattoo studio will become a reality so that she can give back to the community even more.
For this short series celebrating the avant-garde, office magazine and Tattoodo came together for a pop-up tattoo flash event that celebrates a new wave of tattooing that focuses on modern aesthetics and unique perspectives. The collaborating tattooists involved in the pop tattoo flash event are creative innovators who represent the best of underground tattoo culture. Bringing diversity to the forefront, these tattoo artists have found a new visual language and a special approach to tattooing that resonates with many people.
