Enamel Pins by Amanda
Amanda is a lifelong artist in various mediums with her deepest roots in digital art. As a tattoo artist now working with permanent artwork every day, she can really appreciate the magic of an “undo button.”
As many did to pass the time and maintain their sanity in 2020, Amanda started a “covid project” making and selling her digital artwork as stickers. What started as a low stakes casual undertaking to put some art out onto the internet for people to take or leave turned into the passion and obsession that is RARE PANDA Artworks and Apparel…with Amanda being a high strung Capricorn, her peers and loved ones don’t know what else she could have expected to happen. Ten original sticker designs grew and evolved into over 20 currently available sticker designs, 10 enamel pin designs, a rotating selection of prints, and two t-shirt designs with plans for more. Whenever she has time between her tattoo schedule, she travels up and down Florida to showcase her artwork to new audiences at art markets. She also sells her artwork online, at gift and coffee shops like 108Vine and Artology in Gainesville, Florida…and of course her homebase at the Tattoo Gallery of Ocala!
All of her digital designs are available to be tattooed with some potential modifications to the design to translate better into the medium. Feel free to request a consultation with Amanda on the Tattoo Gallery website or speak with her directly on Instagram to get the ball rolling!

As many did to pass the time and maintain their sanity, Amanda started a “covid project” making and selling her digital artwork as stickers, and eventually enamel pins and apparel. Once the world opened back up and she was able to showcase her bold, colorful, and whimsical art style reminiscent of tattoo flash art at art markets, she was strongly encouraged by her growing client base to seek a tattoo apprenticeship…and the rest is history! As a first year tattoo artist, she welcomes opportunities for growth and to tattoo in all styles. She especially favors projects as bold and bright as her digital illustrations.
Amanda works hard to provide not only a quality tattoo but also a pleasant environment to her clients. Tattoos can be stressful, and its a personal goal of hers to remove as many stressors around the process to create a positive experience. With Costa Rican and Puerto Rican heritage, she is also fluent in Spanish for those who might be more comfortable communicating with their artist in their first or stronger language.
