Meet the artists

  • After graduating from SUNY Brockport with an art degree in 2019, Jules had a growing interest in becoming a tattoo artist. Her journey began in early 2020. She has been tattooing for almost 4 years. Outside of work she loves to travel, hike, read, enjoy nature, and play with her two cats Talia and Lilith. Jules specializes in tattooing nature-related subject matter such as florals, botanicals, and fauna. Her love for the natural world is communicated through an illustrative black and grey style with attention to detail, contrast, and scale.

  • Originally from Long Island, NY. Cyn moved to Rochester after graduating from Alfred University with a Bachelor of Fine Art and a minor in Art History. Their tattoo career started in 2022, exploring a variety of styles but specializing in illustrative black and grey tattoos. Cyn has a passion for tattooing illustrations of plants, bugs, figurative sculptures, paintings, religious imagery and ornamental designs. When not tattooing, they enjoy spending time at home with their partner and cats.

WE HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!
