HI, I’M VIVIAN!

I am a Brooklyn based tattoo artist with a style that blends soft shading, bold blackwork, and calligraphic linework. My designs draw inspiration from dreams, introspection, growth, and movement, with influences from modernism, traditional illustration and East Asian art. With a background in illustration and design, I create contemporary designs that tell stories through metaphoric imagery that feels both personal and timeless.

I see tattooing as both an outlet for self-expression and a radical way to reclaim our bodies. The drawings I create are often meditations on how I perceive the human experience and our connection to nature. How do we connect with the world around us? To each other? To ourselves?

Why Ginseng?

The ginseng root is known to heal energy depletion, clear negative forces and restore inner harmony. Traditions view it as a bridge between earth and humanity due to its human-like shape. During our sessions, I not only hope to create a tattoo that you love, but also a memory of a session that feels healing, connected and joyful.
