Hey! It’s nice
to meet you!

A bit about me

I started my tattoo journey in November of 2020. Before that I was studying graphic design at Portland State University, a program that was named the #1 public graphic design school on the west coast. While I am no longer pursuing graphic design as a profession, I infuse my tattoo practice with every thing I learned in my undergrad.

What I like to create

My goals with tattooing

 

Comfort

 

With a calm environment and mellow music in my studio, you are sure to feel secure throughout your tattoo procedure.

Empowerment

 

Tattoos have personally been a way for me to feel confident and exist comfortably in my own skin, and I want to share that with my community. I have designed my tattoo studio to be a place where you feel safe(r). This also includes zero pressure to get a tattoo at a size, style, or placement that you don’t want.

 

Equity

 

Unfortunately, tattooing has a history of leaving out marginalized individuals. For decades, BIPOC have been underrepresented and/or their art styles appropriated.

To combat this in my own practice, I’d love to offer a free tattoo session each booking round to folks that feel they have not been represented in tattooing due to skin color. If you feel like this applies to you, please indicate such in your booking form!

    Mia provided an absolutely seamless tattoo experience from start to finish, she checked in frequently throughout the appointment to make sure I was feeling 100%. When I arrived she met me at the door, already had my design printed up in various sizes to try out. I really can’t say enough good things about it!

  • Kelsey

    I have been tattooed by Mia now twice, and both times were so wonderful! There is always clear communication and respect, and the booking process is so easy! Planning is thorough and I always know what to expect. The quality of her art and tattoos is truly unmatched. I always feel safe, comfortable, happy and very well taken care of. She really seems to know and understand her clients.

  • Gloria P.

    I absolutely loved my time I spent getting my tattoo from you! You were so easy to talk to, made me feel comfortable, and gave me one of the best tattoos I've ever gotten. When I reached out after about needing touch ups, you got me in promptly. The touch up was exactly what the tattoo needed and was quick and easy. Your space is calming and welcoming.

    Working with Mia was a dream! The client generated design process was so fun and well thought out. The studio was beautiful and I loved looking at the shop during our breaks! I think Mia is such a great artist and I would absolutely work with them again! Sending all of my friends your way :,)

  • Tavia A.

    It has been my favorite tattoo experience to date. From the first message on Instagram to my healing process. It was an awesome experience! Not only do I have an amazing piece of art on me but when I look at my tattoo it brings back the environment I received it in. The shop is gorgeous, calm, fun, so comfortable!

  • Anon.

    Comfortable as if I were sitting with a friend who happens to be a tattoo artist

  • Nova A.

    Getting tattooed by you was such a comfortable and great experience! The tattoo studio was bright and happy with tons of plants! You always made sure to check in with me and it was honestly the best experience for my first big tattoo!

  • Anon.

    Our session was as comfortable as tattooing can be! The studio and music were welcoming and I left knowing that I would be back ASAP. Checked all my boxes for a great tattooing experience and I had no regrets concerns afterwards.

Mark your calendars
