Inked Girl of the Month: Bella. Gaming, Gym Life, and Full-Body Ink

Meet Bella, our June Inked Girl of the Month. A content creator, gamer, gym rat, and tattoo addict, Bella moved from Europe to the U.S. with just two suitcases and a dream. Since then, she’s built a life that fits her passions, and it shows in her ink.

“I moved three years (ago) to the USA and love tattoos, especially nerdy and dark tattoos,” Bella shares. “I left everything in Europe and started here a brand new life with two pieces of luggage. America fits definitely better to my lifestyle and I have more freedom here.”

Her bold tattoos, especially her leg pieces, rack up millions of views online. But for Bella, it’s about more than going viral, it’s about expression.

Ink Inspiration from the Start

Bella’s journey into body art began young, and her fascination with tattoos was never just a phase.

“I always loved tattoos even as a little kid, when I saw tattoos on a person I always really liked it, and I said to myself, once I started I want to be completely full with tattoos one day.”

Her first tattoo came as a surprise swap for a birthday wish:

“I wished for a tongue piercing so bad for my 16th birthday, but my parents wouldn’t allow that… instead they offered me, ‘Why don’t you want a tattoo?’ I thought, ‘A tattoo? That’s way crazier than a piercing!’ I could remove a piercing, but a tattoo is forever.”

That first tattoo, a small, feminine tribal design on her side, still holds up over a decade later.

“It’s now almost 14 years old and it still looks awesome!”

Telling Her Story Through Ink

Bella’s tattoos are more than aesthetic, they reflect both her struggles and joys.

“The dark tattoos (like my back, for example, the gates to hell) show the dark side of my past, and the opposite, happy gaming tattoos, the happy side of my life.”

Nostalgia is a huge part of her collection:

“I always was big into Pokémon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Nintendo. That’s why I have so many of those! It makes me just so happy to look at them, and it’s very nostalgic.”

Though her body is nearly full, she’s still got a few spots in mind for future pieces.

“I’m still looking forward for a nice tattoo for the bottom of my feet. Maybe some Pokémon outlining? I don’t know yet!”

Gamer, Creator, Nerd at Heart

Bella lives and breathes content. When she’s not filming reels or editing pics, she’s working out or geeking out over her latest finds.

“I’m a content creator full time and I love doing reels, pictures and videos.”

“I love to work out in the gym, collecting nerdy stuff like Pokémon cards or figures, and I love videogames.”

She even plans trips around one of her favorite games:

“Currently, I just play Pokémon GO and I even travel for it for different events.”

More Than Meets the Eye

Bella isn’t your typical influencer, and she likes it that way.

“I’m a huge nerd. A lot of people think I’m faking it. But it’s true. I hate clubbing and prefer staying home working or playing videogames.”

What Being Inked Girl of the Month Means to Her

“It’s an honor to be finally featured since I’m really covered from head to toe. I love Inked for years!”

What’s Next?

While she’s not big on sharing plans ahead of time, Bella hinted at something special on the horizon.

“I have a special collab coming up with one of my best girlfriends. She will travel across the world to visit me, and that means a lot to me.”

She’s learned to protect her space:

“A lot of people just take advantage of my reach since I’ve become bigger and bigger… I decide to just collab with people I really feel safe (with) and trust.”
