Hi everyone! I’m Victoria -  a machine-free/hand poke tattoo artist specializing in making you feel more like yourself. I am a cat and dog mom, queer lady, and I absolutely love tattooing large scale botanical, ornamental, and blackwork designs. Anything to push the boundaries of what is thought possible when it comes to tattooing without a machine. I have always worked only by hand as I find the process to be incredibly intentional. Hand poke is much more dainty in the way it feels, and causes a lot less trauma to the skin. Therefore, my tattoos heal really fast which is always nice! I pride myself on creating a safe and peaceful environment in my private studio here in Seattle. But I always love to travel, so don't hesitate to reach out! 
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Feel free to ask any questions and I look forward to creating with you!
