I’m moving!! Super stoked to share that next week i’ll be joining the talented artists at @smokingmirrortattoo !! Thank you to all of my pals at @serenitytattoostudio and especially to the lovely @tat_brandie for having me and providing a safe and supportive space for me to grow. I will miss y’all!! I feel very fortunate for this opportunity to continue growing, learning, and pushing myself in new directions with a group of incredibly talented artists in a fresh space. And for the opportunity to once again work alongside several of my former mentors who guided me as I took my first steps into tattooing during my apprenticeship in 2017. This year has been a whirlwind of change, diving headfirst back into tattooing after a nearly seven year break following my apprenticeship was intense as hell but I’m so grateful I made the jump when I did. Tattooing has been the most challenging but rewarding journey of my life, and it’s still only the beginning. It’s an unbelievable honor to be able to take part in this powerful work and to be able to share it with clients, friends, family, and fellow artists. Thanks for the support, thanks for believing in me, thanks for bearing with me while finding my home base, thanks for reading my cornball post if you’re still here, and thanks for being here!! I’m so excited for what’s to come. ✨🪞✨
hello friends 👹💟 figured it was about time to post my mug here and give myself a proper introduction (and wanted an excuse to share these sick photos my lovely partner took of me recently hehe) If we haven’t already met, hello :-) I’m Haley, a tattoo artist and illustrator based in Austin, TX. Art has always been my way of connecting with the world around me and understanding myself, and when I found tattooing, I knew I’d found my path. I am so honored to take part in such powerful, meaningful work and to be able to share that with others. When i’m not tattooing or drawing, i love to travel with my partner (we’re going to Japan next year, ahhh!!), tend my humble lil garden, take our dog on hikes, cook from scratch, play video games, and see local bands around town :-) I wanna also take a moment to be a complete cornball and express my gratitude for the unbelievable support and community i’ve been blessed with this past year. If you’ve been tattooed by me, supported my work online, cheered me on in person, sent a friend my way, gave me a space to create, taught me something new, pushed me to keep going, or quietly supported me from afar, thank you. It means more than i could ever put into words❣️ Thanks for reading, thanks for being here. So stoked to see what’s in store for 2026 💫
