Hi, I’m Elsey
I’ve been tattooing since 2016. Originally from south Georgia, I moved to Atlanta in the first year of my career. I started at 18 years old in my small town, but I saw more for myself pretty quickly. Atlanta had those opportunities. It was a big leap, I had just ten dollars and my grandpa filled my gas tank. I slept on couches and in the back of tattoo shops until I found my way. Here I am all these years later. Looking back, I’m very fond of my start. I found community and courage in tattooing. These are values I hope I share with my clients every day.
Being so young then it took some trial an error, but I eventually found my voice as an artist. I believe I see the beauty in everything, but especially in my clients. I specialize is ornamental tattoos, where I use the body as a guide to contour or play with balance and symmetry. I like to think I add a little sparkle to what’s already perfect. I hope when you leave my chair that you don’t just feel transformed, but truly seen too.
I’m a creative person who values connection, intention, and growth. Connection is one of my strongest skills — I can talk with just about anyone. Outside the studio, I enjoy hiking, yoga, and spending time with my dog and my partner.
