The Artist

9th Wonder is currently led by Turtle, a New Orleans tattoo artist focused on custom work, original flash, and a private collector-focused studio experience.

The studio is built around authorship, discipline, and intention. Every tattoo begins as a design decision before it becomes a permanent mark.

Turtle’s work is shaped by tattoo craft, street culture, anime influence, New Orleans identity, bold design, black and grey work, color work, lettering, and original visual storytelling.

Guest artists and collaborators may be featured in the future, but only when their work aligns with the standard, privacy, and creative direction of the space.
