13 Moons Tattoo Studio

Mother and daughter bonding getting a Rosa Ragosa tattoo and honoring her daughter's love her botany & moving to France💕

My client had a pre-existing Tattoo that she recently received but was not in love with it. She had wanted a more feminine and delicate design. The bold thick lines were also done too deep and she had some tattoo blowout. She loved the details I created to soften the look and feel. She was so happy with and said now she can wear short sleeves and feel comfortable. I have had this conversation for the past few weeks from my studio about the ideas of what Male Tattoo Artists think of as feminine opposed to female tattoo artist.
Though beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I do feel that women creating art on women's bodies can be a transformative experience we see the body differently. She also asked me what I thought the percentage of female Tattoo Artists are in the world opposed to men...
I wish I had a true consensus of the percentage across the globe. The first tattoo female Tattoo Artist was in 1907. In the past 20 years in my area, I know that the number of female tattoo artists has grown tremendously. Opposed to Portland in 1990s when I knew there was only three women tattooing in the State! In short period of time I know that as multiplied, and hopefully it continued to grow and diversify across the world. After 10 years of tattooing in my studio when I ever ask, have you been tattooed by a female before 95% of them say no so going to a female artist I feel can be a true revolution. ❤️
