About Carmela_Bella
A private room & a laid-back appointment. Watch whatever you want, listen to music, talk, scroll or zone out. Whatever makes your tattoo session easier!
American Traditional • Bold & Detailed Tattoos • Piercings
Bold color, blackwork & traditional are my favorites, but I’m always down to work in different styles. I naturally draw in a traditional or illustrative way but I’m a versatile artist & love switching it up.
Portraits & realism aren’t my specialty, but I know some great artists who do that style well & I’m happy to point you in the right direction. If I don’t think I’m the right artist for your idea, I’ll tell you upfront & recommend you to another artist.

Reviews · from real bookings
Carmella is a great artist. with getting tattooed and sitting around comes boredom. not with Bella.The music is my choice and she keeps me engaged with a broad range of conversational topics. the only tatooist I will go to.
Could not recommend Carmela any higher, she’s super personable, very easy to talk to, and made me feel immediately comfortable. The tattoo is stunning, so so happy with it, it came out even better than I expected! Don’t hesitate, book that appointment and prepare to walk out of the shop a total badass 🙌🏽

The fine print, in plain words
Appointments are request based and are not confirmed until a deposit has been paid. Pricing is typically based per piece rather than strict hourly rates. Flash designs may be repeatable unless otherwise discussed. Tattoo Preparation Tips: Eating beforehand is strongly encouraged. Be mindful to drink water to stay hydrated. Avoid alcohol the day before and the day of. Please do not use a numbing cream. Dress comfortably. Set aside enough time for your appointment so you won’t have to rush.
A minimum of 48 hours notice is required to cancel your appointment. Last minute cancellations, no shows, repeated reschedules, or failure to communicate may result in refusal of future bookings. If you are running late, please reach out as soon as possible through the chat option in TattMe. Arriving more than 20 minutes late without communicating will result in a reschedule and require a new deposit.
All tattoo appointments require a non refundable, non transferable deposit to secure your appointment date. Deposits are required for each session and will be applied toward the cost of that session. Deposits compensate for drawing time, scheduling, and appointment preparation. Deposits will be forfeited for cancellations, no shows, reschedules, or failure to arrive prepared for your appointment.
Your health and safety are important to me. I follow Virginia sanitation and safety standards and use proper barriers, sterile equipment, and single-use supplies. Please arrive healthy and sober. I will not tattoo anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or has irritated, infected, or unhealthy skin in the area being tattooed.
