tattoos for all bodies
Asheville-based handpoked tattoos.
birds, bones, botanicals
what you need to know:
I offer a tattoos of a range of subject matter done in an illustrative style. I prefer drawing and tattooing plants and birds and love freehand pieces that flow with the body.
I welcome clients of all budgets, ages, and experience. I am happy to work with you on an idea until we are both satisfied. Tattooing is ultimately a collaborative process.
Tattoos can also be markers of personal strength and growth, can symbolize a certain time in one’s life, or simply reflect a current interest or hobby. Whatever your reason, tattooing is the ultimate form of self expression, independent thought, and radical creation.
The best part about this work is the human to human connection. Creating artwork that has symbolism or emotional depth for me is great, but meeting others who also resonate with that work for their own reasons is magic. Tattooing creates a deep connection between artwork, artist, and art lover. During our session, my goal is to support you through the experience however you most need it.
Handpoked tattoos offer a more gentle, trauma-informed approach to permanent artwork. Because of the nature of the style, the skin is less traumatized and clients often report less pain and overwhelm. Your tattoo appointment should be a relaxing, empowering, and ultimately joyful experience.
I offer a selection of unique, pre drawn flash pieces. Flash is available on this website and on my Instagram. I am also is happy to draw individualized custom tattoos. I offer online or in-person consultations, and work closely with clients to ensure they feel comfortable sharing their needs and wants to best capture their vision. Clients are welcome to back out of the tattoo process at any time, but there is a $50 non-refundable drawing fee/deposit for all tattoos work that ensures I will be paid for my time spent drawing and thinking about your tattoo.
I work at a rate of $150/hour. For full day sessions or very large projects, I work at a flat rate of $1200/day. I can accomodate most budgets, but the work will be simplified in size or detail to adjust to your needs.
