Meet Willow!
Willow has been drawing since she could hold a pencil. She would wake in the early morning hours, before the rest of her family stirred, just to draw. The opportunity to live and breathe art every day is an honor she does not take lightly.
She loves the entire tattooing process, especially the collaborative experience of bringing a client’s vision to life through fully custom work and tattooing her own one-of-a-kind designs.
Continuing to learn and grow as an artist is deeply important to her. Willow is drawn to whimsical, fine line tattoos, botanicals, animals, and mythic creatures, often weaving in elements of Art Nouveau and sacred geometry.
This year, she hopes to take on more large-scale projects, further exploring ornate Nouveau forms and geometric structure within her work. She also plans to begin offering ritual tattoo sessions and in-depth consultations, creating space to envision deeply intentional pieces that weave the client’s vision, story, and soul into a singular work of
