Nate Leslie is an American tattoo artist born and raised in the suburbs of Seattle, Washington.
Growing up, he was always interested in becoming an artist but didn’t know which line of work he would pursue. As a kid he loved to draw realistic subject with a pencil on paper and when he received his first tattoo at eighteen years old he knew he wanted to tattoo.
He focused on American Traditional art throughout apprenticeship and the majority of his tattooing career. This naturally evolved into his neo-traditional style he is now widely known for. Nate’s style lends itself to a wide array of subjects he is passionate about tattooing including but not limited to florals, wildlife, anatomy, and the occult.
Nate Leslie has been tattooing in the Seattle area for over ten years and has been proudly working out of Super Genius Tattoo in the Capitol HIll neighborhood since 2016.
Nate has been inspired by Damon Conklins tattoo work and since the beginning of his career knew that Damon’s shop, Super Genius Tattoo, was where he wanted to practice his art.
Nate is in love with tattooing and the culture that surrounds it and will surely continue to evolve as a he forges ahead honing his craft.
