Hey ♡ I'm Jess. I got my start in cosmetic tattoos in 2020 and transitioned to fine line and black work designs in 2022. The process of tattooing the body verses tattooing a client's face has become like therapy to me; I find so much joy in my work and love creating meaningful patchwork pieces. My favourite tattoos to do are loved one's writings or customs of old photos. I enjoyed cosmetic tattooing and helping others with their self-confidence but I was craving more creativity in my day-to-day.  I grew up drawing and painting acrylic on canvas, mostly inspired by pop art and comic strips.

 

Tattooing is such a special transaction of energy and I truly appreciate everyone who walks through the studio door. Black Fawn Tattoos is a safe and inclusive space where my clients can bring their ideas to life. I believe that with each tattoo, I am leaving a piece of myself with my clients. The trust that my clients have in me does not go unrecognized in every session and I am deeply grateful to those who let me tattoo their skin. I understand that I am a conductor for physical pain to help transmute it into beautiful art. This transaction, to me, is sacred.

​

I am excited to watch my career in tattooing continue to unfold. I have worked hard to get here and I still have so much growing to do. I continue to learn something with every single session, flash sheet, bit of feedback, and conversation with clients and other artists. Thank you to everyone who has supported me thus far. And if we haven't met yet, I look forward to working with you and making something special happen.
