Bio

Located in Cincinnati, Ohio, PluraBella was established in 1999 as a private studio for Kore Flatmo to create and promote tattoos tailored to the individual. Kore travels regularly, often to his native Los Angeles and occasionally to shops and conventions around the country and the world. Entering his 18th year of tattooing and hoping for 30 more, he would like to express his gratitude and appreciation for all those that have, and continue to, make all this possible.

Joining him as a tattooist at PluraBella is his wife Brenda, a talented artist of 13 years experience and infinite patience, a prerequisite to work alongside Kore. With the addition two and a half years ago of shop manager Kim Roberts, everyone here is excited and optimistic about the environment we’ve created and our ability to do our jobs well.

If you’d like to see Brenda’s work, please visit her website: www.roseweeviltattoo.com.

Over the years, we’ve only had a small number of visiting artists come through and three of those were Dan Trocchio and the other was Richard Stell. We will be hosting new faces and some old friends throughout this year and the coming years. Please check our news page often for updates about who’s going to be here, when they’ll be here and how appointments can be set up.
