Owner of Evergreen Studios.

My name is Emily, I specialize in fine-line floral tattoos.

I have been tattooing since 2015 (about six years) and Iโ€™m from Portland, Oregon. I have a different story than most tattoo artists in Illinois. Oregon is the only state in the country that requires artists to go to tattoo school by law instead of going through an apprenticeship. As a result I feel that I have better knowledge of health and safety standards. After graduating I stayed on at the school as an instructor in training.

Two years into my tattoo career I moved to Chicago where my career really took off. Chicago is where I found and developed my own style.

I opened up Evergreen Studios in May of 2021. I am proud to be the owner of a woman owned tattoo studio that creates an inclusive environment for artists to grow their careers.
