About


portrait of the artist Sierra taken at the tattoo studio

Hi there, I’m so glad you’ve made it here!

You can call me Sierra (she/her). I am a San Francisco based artist and I specialize in fine line, nature inspired tattoos. 

My art style incorporates both defined and delicate linework with touches of dotwork shading. I especially love tattooing botanicals and animals, and I take pride in creating tattoos that reflect nuanced detail and flow organically with the body. 

While I believe that tattoos don’t need to have inherent meaning to feel meaningful, I am also here to create tattoos that honor your memories, capture your spirit, guide you, and protect you. 

Although I have always been an artist, I started tattooing 2020. The space you will be tattooed in is the space where I did my very first tattoo. 

Whether you are new to tattoos or consider yourself heavily decorated, please know that you are welcome in my chair; I will always meet you where you are at. I consider myself a low volume artist, and I take pride in spending time with my clients to make sure they receive the absolute best tattoo and experience possible. I am here to collaborate with you, and I am here to ultimately give you a piece of art that can go along with you on the journey that is the rest of your life.
