Two things I have always possessed are the desire to create, and the will to get better.

Thank you for coming to my website, my name is Tricia. I am currently a licensed tattoo artist at Fern and Dagger Studios in the heart of historic downtown Gresham.

My tattoo journey began in 2019 when I started working the front counter in tattoo shops. First working at The House of tattoo, then as shop manager at Evolution Tattoo Gallery. I finally started my apprenticeship at Evolution Tattoo School as their very first apprentice in September of 2023. After 8 months of schooling, I have become officially licensed as of May 2024. I love tattooing, and I really connect with the idea that you can take something you love and keep it with you always. It is a very special art form to me. I am very excited to help my clients express themselves, and decorate their bodies.

Of course as an artist I never want to be limited to just one medium. I very much enjoy painting, wood burning, printmaking, and digital art. I want to thank everyone and anyone who has been following my art journey. I hope to continue learning each of these amazing crafts whilst supporting my creative lifestyle with tattooing.
