hey! i’m ariel! what’s up! :)

I am a tattooer, designer, maker, friend, dog mom, and partner.

I am a self proclaimed “collector of skills, master of some.” My favorite thing to do is to solve puzzles with my DIY skills. It’s my superpower. From painting a mural for the first time in a coffee shop to planning elaborate floral designs for a friend’s wedding, you name it, I can probably figure it out and figure it out well!

My next big artistic adventure started in Fall of 2022, where I decided to fulfill a life long dream medium, tattoo. Taking an illustrative drawing style, adding a splash of permanence, and thus a beginner tattooer was born. I want my art and the tattoos I give to represent me, so you will find trinkets of the asian diaspora, delights of everyday life, botanical beauties, and fun lil’ doodles.

I am honored to be able to share time, space, and energy with each of my clients, whether for an event or while you’re sitting in my chair. Feel free to “say hello!” and/or follow along @ariellinlee for general design/events content, or @ariel.tats for tattoo content!

Much love,
xx Ariel 麟 Lee
