I'm Sarah. I draw fine-line tattoos, do custom embroidery, and paint custom canvases. Working out of a private studio in Stoughton, Massachusetts. Booking by brief, not by walk-in.
Six pieces from the past year.
A small cut of what I've been working on. Tattoo work, a pencil study, a painting, a nail set. The rest of the catalogue lives in the portfolio.

I keep the schedule small so the pieces stay good.
I've been tattooing since January of 2024, out of a small studio just outside Bridgewater. Before that I was drawing and painting — pencil on cotton paper, acrylic on canvas, the kind of work that taught me how to slow a line down.
What I care about is the meaning behind a piece — who it's for, what they want it to remind them of, why now. Once we've got that figured out, the design tends to write itself.
“im still so obsessed sista. best thing ive ever owned.”
“she made me feel like the piece had always been mine. like she just helped me find it.”
Notes from the studio.
Posts about the work, the people I tattoo, and the stuff I learn between sessions. Updated when there's something worth saying.
Why I draw every piece from scratch
I get a lot of Pinterest screenshots in my DMs. Here's why I never just copy what's already in the photo.

Three pieces, three months later
Healed photos of work from this spring. I'd rather show these than fresh shots.
