Hello, I’m Tess Brown, and for me, tattooing has always been about connection and making a client’s journey smooth and welcoming. My personal history is rooted in graphic design; I spent my early career working on branding and visual communication, which is where I honed my eye for composition, flow, and color theory. I made the jump to tattooing about fifteen years ago, realizing I wanted to create permanent, deeply personal art instead of ephemeral advertising. This background gives me a unique approach, often blending intricate design principles with organic, flowing tattoo styles like Neo-Traditional and stylized botanical pieces.

My lifestyle is centered around balance and creative fuel. I’m an avid urban gardener—I love growing vibrant, often exotic, flowers and succulents, which directly inspires the organic lines and bright color palettes you see in my work. The process of nurturing something from a seed to full bloom reflects the care I put into every tattoo. My warm, approachable energy isn’t just a facade; it's a genuine reflection of my belief that a client’s comfort and confidence are just as crucial as the final artwork itself. Ultimately, my desire to make people feel welcome and valued in my chair comes from following the example of Christ's unconditional love; I just want to be a vessel for kindness and care.
