Momma Velia

Meet Velia, affectionately known as "Momma," the heart and soul of Shades of Gray Tattoo Studios. As our beloved shop mom and caretaker, she wears many hats - from emotional support and hype woman to cleaner, front desk receptionist, and bird feeder extraordinaire. With her infectious warmth and caring nature,

Momma Velia is the glue that holds our studio family together.

When she's not keeping our shop spotless or jamming to her signature groovy tunes, you can find Momma Velia tending to her feathered friends or offering a comforting ear and a supportive smile to our artists and clients alike.

Her unwavering dedication and love have earned her a special place in the hearts of everyone at Shades of Gray.

We're honored to have Momma Velia as the backbone of our studio, and we can't imagine our tattoo family without her.
