I have been a professional tattoo artist for over 30 years. I am originally from the Blue Ridge Mountains in Southwest Virginia. I began my career as an apprentice in a small shop in North Carolina. Over the years I tattooed in many different studios as I worked across the country and eventually ended up in Oregon. I made Portland my home for 13 years before trading in the rain for the Colorado sunshine in 2018.
I have seen so many changes in this industry over the decades and I am incredibly grateful and humbled to still be part of it. I enjoy doing nature inspired tattoos, fine line, illustrated realism and anything floral. Bringing old tattoos back to life and doing collaborative work with clients is also fun for me.
When I am not tattooing, my other artistic outlet is my beadwork. I also love being outdoors and traveling anywhere with my husband, just put me in the car!
Tina's Work
This tattoo features a vibrant and intricately detailed blue betta fish (also known as a Siamese fighting fish), depicted on the shoulder. The fish is shown in a graceful, flowing pose, with its large fins and tail spreading outward, creating a sense of movement and elegance.
A vibrant, nature-inspired Green Man design, featuring a central face composed of leaves and vines. Surrounding the face are various natural elements such as flowers, acorns, mushrooms, insects (a bee and a dragonfly), and even small creatures, emphasizing the theme of life and interconnectedness.
This tattoo is a vibrant and enchanting piece featuring a majestic fox as its focal point. The fox, depicted in warm shades of orange and red, sits gracefully against a backdrop of a serene blue circle, which could symbolize the moon or a tranquil sky.
This tattoo is a beautifully detailed composition that merges elements of nature with a touch of mysticism. At the center is a striking, coiled snake with two heads, symbolizing duality or balance. The snake's intricate scales and sinuous form create a sense of movement as it wraps around a cluster of delicate flowers.
This full sleeve tattoo is a breathtaking landscape that captures the serene beauty of nature. It features majestic mountains, a cascading waterfall, and a watchful wolf, all under the gaze of a soaring bird and a crescent moon.
This tattoo is an intricate mandala design, beautifully placed on the upper thigh. The mandala features detailed, symmetrical patterns with layers of petals and shapes radiating from the center, creating a sense of harmony and balance.
