Hi, I’m Jillian.

I’ve been practicing art my whole life, but always found it most interesting when done for others. After graduating from Maryland Institute College of Art in 2011, I worked as a freelance portrait artist. I really enjoyed the art, but painting at home by myself got lonely. In 2017, I shifted my focus to working on humans, rather than for them. I’m a social person, so getting to talk with my canvas fulfills my need to build connections while still flexing my artistic muscles.

I moved to Hampden in 2009 and never left. Now I get the pleasure of being a small business in the community that I call home. I’m an empath and I focus on client care. If you are finding my services for a vulnerable reason, feel insecure, or just plain anxious… I’m your gal. I’ll keep you comfortable while working my magic to give you the results you deserve.

With 7 years experience, a wide range of 1500+ clients, and over 12 training certificates under my belt, you are safe in my hands. I bring realism and dimension to this 2D art form while considering your personal goals and lifestyle. With a conservative approach to cosmetic tattooing, I prefer to create a natural look that feels like you, just better. Together, we will work to make you feel like your best self, and transform your insecurities into strengths.
