Hi! I’m Chelsea, a tattoo artist based in Vancouver BC. I love creating dark, nature-inspired designs with a focus on blackwork, and illustrative realism.I’m drawn to themes of transformation, plants, flowers, and whimsical animals. I love creating pieces that feel enchanting, unique, or thought provoking.I’m always growing, always learning, and excited to collaborate on ideas that mean something to you, are silly or impulsive, or anywhere in between!
