Intentional Tattooing & Healing Through Art

Annalee believes that tattooing is more than an art form—it’s a healing experience. Many of her clients describe their sessions as therapeutic. She takes pride in helping others mark their journeys with intention, care, and spiritual significance. Her goal is to continue integrating wellness and positive energy into every tattoo session.

“Tattooing deserves deep respect. It’s one of humanity’s oldest art forms—a sacred ritual found in every culture. To be part of that lineage is incredibly humbling.”

Annalee’s First Tattoo Story

Her first tattoo was an ambigram of the four elements—earth, air, fire, and water. She got it at age 18 from an apprentice at Big Deluxe as a symbol of her liberation from organized religion. The elements represented her own spiritual beliefs, and the ambigram reflected the idea that truth and meaning are unique to each person.

In Her Own Words

“My favorite tattoos to make are mandalas, indigenous artwork, and primitive designs. I especially love creating tattoos that move with the body and contain historical symbols. These are more than designs—they’re marks of power and transformation.”
