About the Artist

Arielle

Arielle is a professionally trained artist who found a deep creative connection through the art of tattooing. In 2020, she was drawn to the way tattooing combines precision, storytelling, and real human connection. With roots in drawing and painting, she has been tattooing ever since. While she didn’t pursue art professionally before picking up a tattoo machine, the urge to create has always been there—usually accompanied by a pencil, a mess, and a cup of coffee she forgot she made.

Arielle’s work leans into fine line greyscale, often inspired by the natural world and the quiet, flowing movement found in organic forms. Whether she’s translating a client’s idea into something meaningful or simply sharing space in the studio, she values the connection and trust that grow through the tattooing process.

When she’s not tattooing, you’ll probably find Arielle hanging out with her two cats—Gizmo, a mischievous Cornish Rex, and Tigger, a sassy tortoiseshell—and her gentle wolf-dog Balto, who may or may not believe he runs the household. She’s an avid collector of art books, a lifelong beach and lake wanderer, and someone who will absolutely brake for a good thrift store. In her spare time, Arielle loves experimenting with new art mediums, playing lighthearted nerdy video games, and hunting down anything nostalgic—bonus points if it smells like an old bookstore.

For Arielle, tattooing isn’t just about the final piece. It’s about creativity, growth, connection, and making something meaningful—whether it ends up on your skin or a shelf.
