A Bit About the Artist

I was born and raised in Washington State.

I have always had a love for art for as long as I can remember. From the time I could hold a pencil I have been drawing.

Right out of High School I attended Art School in Seattle. Like many Artists I did nothing with my art for many years.

In 2005 after working in the same job for 10 years I decided to pursue a career that involved me doing art. So, I started apprenticing in October of 2005. After finishing my apprenticeship I ventured out on my own. I worked at a few different shops but found myself wanting to be in an environment that is different than your “Typical” Tattoo Shop.

In October 2008 I opened my own Tattoo Studio “Inkstaind Tattoo”

I do not limit my tattooing to just one style. I do tend to favor doing Japanese Art, Samoan Tribal and Lettering. I have a Graphic Design background in Art so I enjoy doing very technical tattoos.

If you feel your vision for a Tattoo meets my style give me a call. We can work together to make your vision a piece of art for your personal canvas.

Peace, Crystal
