Hello, my name is Crystal.

I am the Artist/Owner of Inkstaind Tattoo Studio.

I was Born & Raised in Washington not far from my shop. I am a Sumner High School, Seattle Art Instituted & Evergreen State College Alumni.  Right out of High School I attended the Art Institute to study Visual Art/Grapgic Design.

For as long as I can remember I have always had a love of Art.  My Grandmother was one of biggest fans & always supported my passion to do Art!

In October of 2005 I started an apprenticeship in Tattooing, after finishing my apprenticeship  I worked in a few shops but found myself not wanting to work in your "Typical" Tattoo Shop.  In October 2008 I opened Inkstaind Tattoo Studio where everyone can feel welcomed & comfortable. Thanks to the Support of Friends, Family & Clients I continue to grow everyday as an Artist.  I do not limit my self to just one style but I do Favor doing Japanese inspired art, Realism,  lettering, fine line, minimalist, trash polka & Watercolor Style Tattooing. Due to my Graphic Design background the technical part of tattooing came easy.  If you feel that your vision meets my style, please contact me so we can work together to make your vision a piece of ART for your personal canvas.
Tattooing is not something I produce, it's something that produces a change both in myself and my clients. In all my years and thousands of Tattoos later, I have yet to finish a tattoo and not look at the world in a new light. To me no Tattoo is too small, every tattoo I do has meaning and every tattoo means something to someone. I love working with my Clients and creating Custom Art for them. Being able to tap into someone’s vision and bringing that vision to life makes tattooing my passion! Tattooing is very sacred and personal exchange of energy. The transfer of energy is forever!  I take time with each new client in a consultation before any ink is put into skin to make sure we are a good fit.  

PEACE, LOVE & LIGHT, Crystal
