Hi, my name is Tess (she/her), and I’m a tattoo artist at Bat and Cave! I’ve been tattooing since October 2021, and after a couple of different art jobs, I finally feel like I’ve found my calling. I specialize in fine line illustrative work, but love branching out and exploring other styles too. Most of my tattoos are black and grey, but I’ll never say no to a pop of color. Think flowers, lady heads, southwest, pinup, nostalgia.

I get my inspiration from the things around me, nature and travels. Talk to me about all things pop culture and reality TV. When I’m not drawing, I’m hanging out with my girlfriend and our dog, or spending time with friends while we look for our next outdoor adventure or swimming hole. You can also catch me running (very slowly) around Dallas or daydreaming in a park.
