About the Studio

The Story of The Raven's Nest

The Raven’s Nest Emporium was born from a long journey of grief, growth, creativity, and reclamation.

The name itself is layered in meaning:

Raven is the name I carried in my heart for my daughter long before she arrived.

A nest is a home—a safe place to land.

And an emporium is a space that holds many forms of artistry and healing.

This studio brings all of that together.

For years, I juggled multiple passions—tattooing, drawing, writing, coaching—searching for a way to honor them all without abandoning any part of myself.

The Raven’s Nest is the answer to that search.

A private, intentionally designed space where emotion becomes art, pain becomes beauty, and people are allowed to simply be.

This is more than a studio. It’s a sanctuary.

A place of storytelling, sensory safety, and soul-deep connection.

Built from the parts of me that refused to give up, this space now lives to serve others who are ready to reclaim their voice, their body, and their story — through ink, through art, through presence.

And everything I’ve created here—every lesson, every moment, every legacy —

I get to pass down to my daughter.

Our Philosophy

Tattooing is sacred. It’s more than decoration—it’s declaration.

It’s storytelling. Transformation. Remembrance. Reclamation.

At The Raven’s Nest Emporium, tattooing is approached as a deeply personal, collaborative, and often healing process. You are not just receiving a piece of artwork—you are becoming the canvas for something meaningful, symbolic, and entirely your own.

My process is centered around intention, comfort, and connection:

I hold space for emotion, vulnerability, and presence throughout your session.
I work in a private, sensory-safe studio, intentionally curated to reduce anxiety and overstimulation—especially for those who are neurodivergent, trauma survivors, or highly sensitive.
Each piece is created through collaborative conversation. You bring your story, and I translate it into something visual, powerful, and lasting.
I prioritize informed choice and bodily autonomy. You're never just a passenger in this process—your voice matters every step of the way.
My goal is always to make sure you leave not only with a beautiful tattoo—but with a sense of being heard, held, and honored.

Whether you're marking a moment, reclaiming a chapter, or simply celebrating yourself—this is a place where your story is safe to take form.

Eco-Conscious Tattooing

At The Raven’s Nest Emporium, every part of the tattooing process is chosen with intention—including the materials.

I use all-natural, organic, biodegradable, and recycled products wherever possible to ensure that what goes on and into your body is as safe and clean as it can be—and that what leaves my studio has as little environmental impact as possible.

Studio Sustainability Practices

Vegan inks – cruelty-free and free from animal products
Wheat-straw razors & ink caps – biodegradable, non-plastic alternatives

Organic Castile soap (Dr. Bronner’s) for gentle cleansing
Redemption Organic Tattoo Lotion for use during tattooing
Biodegradable machine bag covers

Hospital-grade disinfectants that are safe for you and the environment

This is tattooing that respects the whole ecosystem—your skin, your story, and the world around us.
