Carlyn specializes in ceremonial and etching and engraving style illustrative tattoo. They grew up in the mountains of Colorado which fostered their deep love and curiosity for the natural world. They studied scientific illustration and printmaking at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Their tattooing journey began in 2016 as a love of providing stick and pokes for close friends in the punk and metal scene. They began tattooing with a machine in 2022. With vocal encouragement from their community, their work evolved into a professional pursuit in 2023. When not tattooing, Carlyn enjoys urban permaculture homesteading, rock climbing, mountain biking, and yoga.
