Justin Coppolino

I was raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with my Identical twin brother. Often, I found myself headed down the creative path of life. It has always been art and music that does it for me.

Being an artist and a tattoo collector, I took a serious interest in Tattooing. In 2006 I began a year long apprenticeship at a Tattoo Studio near my apartment, in Los Angeles. I am an extremely passionate person as well as a perfectionist and that carries over in my work. I feel very blessed to be able to do exactly what I love in tattooing and music as well as being able to provide for my family.

Michael Adelstein

I grew up in a small farm town in Washington, just underneath the Canadian border. I learned to tattoo in 2011, apprenticing at Old School Tattoo in Bellingham, then moved to Seattle a few years later, and have been tattooing in Bellevue for the last 6 years. Outside of work, my main passions are mountain climbing, snowboarding, painting, and quality time with my family.

Artistically, I've had a tendency to focus on animal, floral, and nature based tattoos and artwork but I'm actively trying to work on my human anatomy to broaden my range. Stylistically, I gravitate towards realism, new school, trash polka, and watercolor designs but try to adjust my style to whatever's best for that client. I feel blessed to get to create art for a living and to explore the beautiful northwest in my free time. Too blessed to be stressed :)

I was born and raised in the San Fransisco Bay Area and have been drawing most of my life. I was pretty much born with a pencil in my hand. I was attracted to tattooing at a young age and I knew immediately that tattoos were what I wanted to be a part of for the rest of my life.

Some of the styles that I like to tattoo in are Traditional, Neo Traditional, Color , Black Work, Dot Work, Black and Grey and Fine Line tattooing. After graduating my apprenticeship I dove head first into tattooing and I couldn’t be happier with my progression. Every day I learn something new and I can’t wait to design your next tattoo !!

Trejen Antaeus

Hello! My name is Trejen (tray-jin) and I am a transplant from the San Francisco Bay Areaas I moved to Seattle in 2018.  I started tattooing professionally in 2003, and so this July 2023, it will be 20 years of experience that I will have under my belt!  Growing up I was one of those kids that was always working on art projects and I was constantly focused on drawing and painting, which eventually put me on the path to become a tattoo artist, and it has been an amazing and fun career.

  With 20 years experience I am well versed in all tattoo styles and I work at a high level of expertise.  My favorite styles of tattooing are Black and Grey realism, Colour Realism, Portraiture, and Neo Traditional. I simply love coming up with custom designs for clients, but I am just as happy working on Fine line, American traditional, or Black work.

   I am excited to take up residence here at The Nova Expansion, and I look forward to giving you your next amazing tattoo!

Gunnor Faulk

I am from a military family, growing up all over the U.S. but spent most of my formative years in California. I think that this allows me to be able to relate to a wide variety of people. I studied at UC Davis earning myself a bachelor’s degree in design. In that time my love for art and design transformed into an obsession with tattoos and the tattoo lifestyle.

With every tattoo I collect I feel more like myself and look forward to bringing the same feeling to all of my clients. I apprenticed under Justin Coppolino and I’m honored to have the privilege to do this for a living.

I’ve been tattooing since 2019 and I started tattooing in Seattle. I also worked in other cities including Denver and San Diego. My main style of tattooing is realism but I love doing other styles including anime, traditional, lettering and fine line. I would describe myself as a versatile artist and I enjoy learning and creating. Tattooing is a great form of self expression for both artists and clients. After I received my first tattoo I fell in love with the culture. I can’t wait to tattoo you.
