About me
Hi there!
I’m Casey. I’m a tattooer (you probably knew that if you got this far, haha).
I started my tattooing career in 2017. In September of 2020, I opened my own studio — Praying Mantis — with my lovely husband. He and I opened a second studio in 2022 called Pearls & Jade, where I now tattoo!
Speaking of my husband, his name is Mike! He is my best friend, taught me how to tattoo, and I love him so much. We have two adorable children together. We also have a flock of chickens, a handful of semi-feral barn cats, and two silly fancy goldfish (the ones with giant eyeballs). :)
Things I like: cooking and baking (pasta and bread are favorites), reading a ton of books (LOVE romance and fantasy), everything about birth and babies and motherhood, and tending to my many plants.
A little bit about why I chose the style I do: I LOVE flowers. I even put together my own wedding bouquet. I think flowers have so much incredible meaning in so many people’s lives — symbolizing birth and love, commemorating marriages and lives of passed loved ones. I love that I can help my clients celebrate their lives’ milestones, their children/marriages/pets, and the people they love the most. My art style, ever since I was a little girl, has been very fine and detailed, and I wanted to carry that over into my tattoo style, too. I love all things dainty and intricate. That being said, I love fine-detailed portraits and stylized realism — that is my non-tattoo-related illustration style, and I love when I get to carry that over into tattoos too.
Thank you for stopping by this corner of my website!
