Mecca B

Artist + Mecca B

I am Malaika "Mecca" Burke, a Guyanese-American visual artist based in New Orleans. Raised in New Jersey, I first came to the city in 2007 as a volunteer during the recovery efforts following Hurricane Katrina. After earning a Bachelor of Arts from New Jersey City University in 2009, I chose to make New Orleans my permanent home.

I work primarily as a tattoo artist and painter, though I occasionally branch into videography, sculpture, and murals. My work explores religious iconography, portraiture, mythology, and the natural world, examining the ways these visual languages overlap and intersect.

I am the owner of Hell or High Water Tattoo, one of New Orleans' premier tattoo studios. I have been profiled in Forbes magazine, and my work has been exhibited at the Contemporary Arts Center New Orleans, the Ashe Cultural Arts Center, and A Gathering of the Tribes in New York, among other venues.
