Hi, I’m Lu! I am an AuDHD trans/non-binary artist with a classical background in illustration, and I’ve been tattooing in the twin cities since 2017.
My pronouns are THEY/THEM.
I enjoy tattooing in a diverse array of styles with an emphasis on botanical work. My favorite subjects are nature-themed (plants, animals, insects) and ornamental motifs drawn from folk art, tiling, textiles, and architecture. I specialize in large-scale work and cover-ups/reworks of existing tattoos.
I love to work in full color, and I am happy to offer free color tests for clients with dark skin to show how colors will heal in their skin prior to booking a full color tattoo. I have a small sheet of designs to choose from for color tests. Feel free to request this service with your consultation if you are interested!
