About Me
My name is Nikte Gomez Pierrard but go by Nikki. I’m 21 years old Bay Area native living in Richmond.
I'm naturally bubbly and can have friendly conversations with anyone. I just put my weeks in to quit being a waitress. I loved waitressing. I was very good at it and I appreciated the fast enviroment. I ran the entire front restaurant by myself. I bussed and also hosted while serving meals and checking up on customers. I kept this job while also tattooing during the day. Currently I am a tattoo artist who's been apprenticing at Primal Instincts Tattoo for the last 2 years. I dream of one day opening up my own tattoo shop. As much as I love to tattoo,I'm looking for a night job to help me pay my bills and expand my skills. I would love to be a bartender. I think my personality and speedy skills would make me phenomenal at bartending.
