Hi there, my name is Desiree. I specialize in botanical/nature illustrative tattoos. I have been in the industry since 2012, and man oh man, has it been a wild ride. I started my tattoo career as an apprentice in a biker shop when I was 18 years old, just a baby fresh out of high school. I’ve held down jobs at tattoo studios that were all so unique and different from each other: a biker shop in a strip mall, an art gallery on Main Street, and a busy walk-in shop in downtown Denver. I even went on a tattoo competition show (I’ll tell you all about it if you want the tea!), and all of these environments have helped form me into the person and artist I am today. I’ve learned something from each experience and benefited from them all in some way or another. Recently, I put roots down in a beautiful private studio in Evergreen, Colorado, to create the space I have always wanted; a place where my clients can feel safe, comfortable, relaxed, and can be themselves. I am beyond grateful for my clients who give me their trust, embrace my process, and allow me to put my art on their bodies forever. It is an absolute honor and a privilege! I hope you can feel the love I have for my craft, the thoughtfulness in my work, and the effort I have put into making every client’s individual experience so very special.
