Lily

I'm Lily, born and raised on the island of O'ahu, and I've always had a deep love for art and creativity. From taking art classes as a kid to tattooing today, that passion just kept evolving. I specialize in black and grey American traditional and fineline tattoos, but lately I've tapped into my background and gotten inspired by Japanese art culture. I also really enjoy drawing and tattooing in my own personal style: ladyheads and pin-up girls.

I've only been tattooing for two years so far, and I absolutely love it. What draws me to tattooing is the connection with my clients, but also the challenge it gives me. Every design, placement, and client is different. It keeps me growing as an artist while creating something lasting.

Growing up, I was used to being in a tattoo shop. Instead of feeling intimidating, they felt welcoming. I loved seeing art all over the walls and people expressing themselves in real, permanent ways. That early experience really stuck with me. As I got older, I became drawn to the history behind tattooing. It's existed across cultures for centuries, carrying meaning, identity, and tradition.

When you book with me, you're getting a collaborative experience. Whether it's your first or your tenth, I focus on creating a design that fits you, solid work that will hold up over time, and making sure you feel comfortable and confident every step of the way. Outside of work, I love to travel any chance I get, and when I'm home I'm usually out hiking or soaking up sun at the beach.

Two years in and I'm still chasing the challenge. Whether it's your first or your tenth, let's make something that fits.
