About Michelle

I am a Canadian tattoo artist who moved to Chicago in 2022. My tattooing aesthetic derives from illustrative and organic forms. I am deeply inspired by nature and ornamental imagery. I use primarily “fine-line” and some dot work, while maintaining the weight and contrast to ensure my tattoos age with grace instead of fading. All my work is created using black and grey-wash inks. My client’s experience is very important to me because like their tattoo that memory will be with them for their whole lives. It’s my pleasure to be there every step of the way for my clients whether it’s their first or one hundredth tattoo.
