Chelsey grew up in the Salt Lake valley and has fascinated by the world of art for as long as she can remember, especially by the ways different cultures have adorned their bodies throughout history. She has now been hand poke tattooing full-time for over 7 years and has never used a machine.

Hand poke offers a unique and often less painful experience compared to machine tattooing. This method is naturally less abrasive on the skin, which typically leads to a quicker healing process for the tattoo. Clients often describe the sensation as similar to getting hairs plucked. 

She enjoys collaborating with clients to bring their visions to life, while also offering professional insights to ensure the tattoo ages beautifully and complements their physique. This approach ensures each piece is not just a tattoo, but an integral part of the individual’s form.
