hello, i’m lulu

i started tattooing in 2019, and completed my apprenticeship under mentor dave norton in 2021. i didn’t always know that i wanted to be a tattooer, but once i did know, i never looked back. i love that this life means i will never stop learning, that i get to meet every kind of person, and that i have the honor of playing a role in the ceremonies of self (trans)formation you perform when getting tattooed.

my art vibe is a little bit old world, a little bit new. sometimes precise, sometimes abstract…i particularly like doing expressive/disrupted typography, freehanded projects, and bold ornamental work. i am very interested in tattooing as a form of cultural memory, ancestor work, and radical healing.

i’m queer and use both they/them and she/her pronouns. taurus sun, virgo moon, leo rising, and n’th generation settler on this land (born & raised on abenaki land, now living & working on the lands of the pawtucket, naumkeag, massa-adchu-es-et peoples). i give thanks and honor to the supportive ancestors (blood & non-blood), teachers, and guides that have helped bring me where i am today.

i look forward to meeting you.
