ABOUT
Elisa has been tattooing for about 3 years, & having always wanted to tattoo, she was a little late to get started out of fear of failure or rejection. After selling some of her art here & there, & painting her whole life, she decided to really lock in & look for a traditional apprenticeship. As for today, she can’t see herself doing anything other than this.

She loves creating pieces that feel like they flow with & belong on the body, rather than simply sitting on top of it. She takes the time to work with each client & shape the design around their natural curves & movement, making every tattoo feel personal, custom, & intentional.

She is inspired by all things botanical, vintage, & ornamental, & loves bringing those influences into her work. Her style moves between ornamental, abstract, surrealistic, black & grey illustrative, & botanical.

Elisa wants her chair to feel warm, comfortable, & inclusive, welcoming all skin tones & body types. She believes getting tattooed should be a collaborative experience where clients can feel like themselves, are comfortable speaking up, & leave with something they’re genuinely excited to wear for the rest of their lives.
