“Ricki did one of my favorite tattoos in 2021. Not only was it a really affirming experience, [the tattoo] has held up extremely well. Even the lightly shaded areas. I felt safe and cared for in their studio, and I would strongly recommend them for blackwork!”

“Ricki is amazing!! Not only are they a fantastic artist, but the entire experience of being tattooed was so welcoming and comfortable. Not to mention the music selection in the studio was chef’s kiss”

“I adored my whole experience getting tattooed by Ricki — from inquiry to booking to the appointment. Ricki is so communicative, compassionate and kind. I knew what to expect and always had detailed info on all of the steps. I felt listened to and so well taken care of. They make you feel very comfortable and are so easy to talk to. Not to mention the tattoos are GORGEOUS. Thank you Ricki!!”

“I received a tattoo from Ricki in August [2023] and I’m still pinching myself— I’m so happy every time I see it!! They were great to work with, the studio is cozy and welcoming, and I will definitely be back. I highly recommend them.”

“Ricki is a wonder maker, a garden tender, and a care filled artist who is making bodies beautiful through their gentle hand. The tattoo they gave me didn’t hurt like my other tattoos did. Her studio is welcoming and colorful and full to the brim with inspiration. Their work is whispers, buzzing bees, and mason jars full of fireflies that make you wish for the summer breeze. I’m honored to have her handiwork on my arm forever. Supporting queer artists is seed sowing and Ricki is giving flesh new harvests every time they create blooms that last forever.”

“From consultation to post tattoo, I loved Ricki’s process on my most recent black and grey floral piece. They made me feel excited, comfortable and inspired. Ricki’s technique and skill along with their unique artistic vision, left me with a stunning tattoo that I didn’t know I needed. Not only does it carry the meaning we intended, it’s altered how I see myself, my body and my other tattoos in the most positive ways. Truly an unexpected and remarkable experience.”

“Ricki made me feel comfortable immediately, even though it was my first time visiting. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. After my multiple sessions were complete, I found myself missing what seemed like such a retreat. Amazing artist, wonderful person, and a feeling of belonging from the moment I walked in the door.”
