Carlyn Crispell
(they/them)
I am a Colorado-born tattoo artist with a wholesome love for people, animals, plants, and the land. I make illustrative tattoos and hold ceremonial tattooing sessions.
I studied scientific illustration and printmaking at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
I began my tattooing journey in 2016 as a love of providing stick and pokes for close friends in the punk and metal scene. With vocal encouragement from the community, my work evolved into a professional pursuit in 2023.
My favorite kind of work is when I get to connect deeply with my patrons to create something that is emotionally or spiritually elevating for them. My favorite subjects to illustrate are plants, animals, and bones.
