Activating magic through tattoos

I believe our bodies are altars.

In November of 2021, I began tattooing with the guidance of many generous members of the tattoo artist community, and received my license in early 2022. In 2024, I became a co-owner of the 100%-vegan-supply studio I have always worked from, and it was rebranded as Hey You Tattoo. My studiomates and I are all queer, body-positive, and believe in the importance of community. At Hey You, you’ll find a village. We are often working at the same times, so expect to be greeted by many friendly faces–from behind the KN95 masks we wear to ensure everyone’s safety. (And ask that you do, too–don’t worry, we keep some by the door if your forget!)

For me, my practice of paganism is often tied to my work, and I specialize in illustrations of the natural world, the cosmic, surreal, and themes of folklore, mythos, and the occult. Currently, my most spiritually significant offering is sigilcraft tattoos; if you’d like a custom sigil, please use my inquiry form and tell me what you’re seeking. I’ll make something tailored to exactly your ideas, infused with the same intention I bring to my own altar.

I’m happy to work with a wide variety of concepts, and I’m always open to receiving inquiries regarding custom tattoos. However, there are some restrictions on what I’m willing to accept: I only take on projects that fall into my personal style, and I won’t accept requests for geometric shapes, fonts, any work smaller than two inches, or artwork that is not drawn by me— this includes artwork a client or someone close to them has drawn, vintage artwork, famous artworks, logos, stamps, etc., and of course I will refuse any inquiries for bigoted, racist, homophobic, or otherwise offensive designs. If you’re unfamiliar with my style, please look at my Instagram for examples of how I draw.
