tattoo magic for body and soul
- Salt Lake City, Utah -
I’m an artist working to impact people’s lives through therapeutic tattoo.
I believe that the experience of tattoo with an inviting environment and empathetic artist can deeply improve the way we view ourselves. I like to provide the specific energy my client needs that day while tattooing customized artwork for them. I feel that personalizing the experience to this degree can speak to their unique spirit and bring their inner essence to the outside. I hope to make my client feel more like themselves by the time they leave and to have the tattoo as a reminder of what that means to them.
I’m absolutely obsessed with this work and the potential it has to heal people. After seeing how deeply tattooing can affirm identities and lived experiences - I believe this ritual is one with profound possibilities.
Traveling the world and studying the various heritages of my family as well as those of my clients has drawn me deeper into a path of ancestral art. I believe that when we go back far enough we come across shapes and motifs that many of our ancestors share, and through this I work to create art that is simply human. I describe my interests as ancient, vintage, ornamental, and neo-tribal.
I’m Marie.
