Every tattoo starts differently. Some carry a story, some start with an image, and some just need to look damn good. Here’s a look at the kind of work I love creating.

About Nicole

I’ve been making art and tattooing for more than 30 years. I’m drawn to symbolism, geometry, nature, and the little details that can turn a good idea into something completely personal.

I listen closely, design every piece specifically for the person wearing it, and take the time to make sure the tattoo feels right on the body—not just on a screen.

How It Works

Tell Me What You’re Thinking

Start with the consultation form and give me the basics - your idea, placement, location, and budget. It doesn’t have to be perfectly figured out yet.

We Build the Tattoo

We’ll talk through the idea, references, placement, and what will make the piece work best. From there, I’ll create a custom design specifically for you.

Tattoo Day

We’ll go over the design, make sure the placement feels right, and get to work. I’ll send you home knowing exactly how to take care of it while it heals.

Have an Idea?

Tell me a little about what you’re thinking. You don’t need to have every detail figured out—I just need enough to understand the direction and start the conversation.

Common Questions

How long does a custom tattoo take?

Every tattoo is different. Size, placement, detail, and how your skin responds all affect the time involved. Once I know what you’re thinking, I can give you a much better idea of what to expect.

Do You Take Walk Ins?

Sometimes. Same-day appointments work much better because the studio operates primarily by appointment. Use the button at the top to text me and I'll let you know if I have an opening.

Ready to Make Something That’s Yours?

You don’t need the perfect reference image or every detail figured out. If you have an idea you keep coming back to, tell me about it.

We’ll figure out what works, what doesn’t, and how to turn it into a tattoo that feels like it was always supposed to be there.
