We had the good fortune of connecting with Point Fedotova – Cohen and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Point, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
Tattoos are deeply personal expressions of identity, healing, and transformation. Through my work, I help clients reclaim their bodies, tell their stories, and carry reminders of strength. That kind of empowerment can be life-changing

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’m a tattoo artist specializing in high-contrast, story-driven pieces that help people reclaim their identity and express their journey. What sets me apart is the emotional depth and fine art influence in my work. I started from scratch as a young immigrant with no connections, just passion and persistence. It wasn’t easy—breaking into the industry took resilience—but I turned challenges into fuel. Today, I’m proud to mentor others, judge international shows, and create a safe space for clients to feel seen. My art is more than ink—it’s healing, empowerment, and connection

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend came to visit, I’d show them the real Bay—moody, artsy, and unforgettable. We’d explore SF’s murals, museums, and thrift shops, get ramen in Japantown, and catch sunset at Ocean Beach. We’d take a day trip to Muir Woods or Napa, hit underground galleries in Oakland, and end with cocktails at rooftop bars like El Techo. Of course, they’d leave with a custom tattoo—because memories deserve permanent ink.
