Nature inspired tattoos

Nice to meet you!

I’m Lauren

I’m a tattoo artist based in the Portland, OR area! I specialize in nature, animal, and botanical tattoos in my private studio.

My goal with all my tattoos is not only that you love your piece, but also feel welcomed, safe, and enjoy the overall experience.

I can’t wait to meet you!
