Hi! I'm Azize, a self-taught tattooist that specializes in black/red dot work, pattern work, abstract, ornamental, contemporary, & culturally informed designs. I draw inspiration from the natural world, textiles, architecture, and graphic design. Developing this practice has been both an incredible challenge and life changing decision for me. Read my F.A.Q to learn why I love tattooing ;-)

I prioritize creating an environment where people can feel comfortable advocating for themselves through a consent centered practice. Connection and collaboration are key tenants of my practice. Humans age 18+ of all body types, skin tones, and experience levels of getting tattooed are welcome. I offer cover-ups/reworks for scars and other tattoos. If this approach resonates with you - let’s chat!

Your knees deserve more love. Maybe you'd prefer this on your elbow - that would really impress your mom.

Knee Hugger

Deposits are $100, nonrefundable, and applied to the final cost of the tattoo.

Deposit Policy

Cover-Up Policy

Deposits may be applied to one reschedule with 48+ hours in advance AND the appointment is rescheduled within 7 days.

A second reschedule in a row will forfeit the previous deposit and require a new deposit to book.

Outright cancellations will result in a forfeited deposit.

Rescheduling Policy

Touch ups of my work are free within the first two years. There are many variables that effect how a tattoo heals, especially large color packed areas, hands, feet, face, or thicker/more calloused areas. No two bodies react to, or heal from, tattoos the same. After two years, touch-ups are priced based on the scale and complexity of the touch up. I may be open to "refreshing" another artist's work, submit an inquiry to discuss further.

Touch-Up Policy

I will not tattoo any words, phrases, or imagery from a language or culture that you don't speak or that don't belong to you.

I will not tattoo other artist's designs unless if you have proof of explicit written consent from the artist(s).

Integrity Policy

My goal is to create an environment that welcomes and inspires creativity through an anti-racist, collaborative, and constructive lens. I prioritize the health, safety, and liberation of our community over perfectionism and individualism. Harassment, discrimination, and bigotry of any kind is not welcome at sessions with me, yet I understand that harm is inevitable and can be unpredictable in various spaces.
I will adhere to Client Agreements (below), and ask that all clients understand the antidotes to, and work against, the characteristics of white supremacy culture.

Relational Policy

Clients are entitled to the following: Safety and cleanliness: the right to a clean and safe procedure, a private place to change, and a clean bathroom. Respect: the right to be treated equally and with respect, regardless of your race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, physical ability, or health status. This includes the right to be addressed by your preferred pronouns and to be free from harassment or hate speech. Clear communication: the right to ask questions and have them answered patiently and respectfully. Consent: the right to be asked for consent before any physical contact or touch, including adjusting or removing clothing. Design: the right to be asked for approval of the final design and any changes that might be made during the session. Privacy: the right to request and receive provisions for personal privacy and comfort. Photography: the right to refuse photography or public sharing of your photo.
