Tess

For Tess, art has always been a way to connect... With herself, with others, and with the world around her. From painting and watercolor to woodworking and now tattooing, her creative journey is rooted in curiosity, intention, and an appreciation for the beauty found in everyday details.

Before pursuing tattooing, Tess worked in trauma and wound care nursing, a background that shaped her attention to detail, patience, and understanding of the trust involved in working with others. Her transition into tattooing brings together her artistic interests and a genuine appreciation for human connection.

Drawing inspiration from nature, organic textures, and the artists who find beauty in the unconventional, Tess gravitates toward illustrative designs, botanical elements, wildlife, and imagery that feels both delicate and grounded. Her creative process often begins outdoors, finding inspiration in the little things that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Above all, Tess believes tattooing is a collaborative experience. Whether a piece carries a deeply personal story or simply celebrates something beautiful, she approaches each project with care, curiosity, and the intention of creating something meaningful to the person wearing it.
