HELLO to all you tattoo enthusiasts, flower sniffers & grass touchers ~ this is a little intro post. i’ve never done one, and i wanna take a second to say hello ~
i’m natalie (she/they)- you can also call me nat or natty. i’m 34 years old and was born & raised in north tx, currently residing in austin. i did my first handpokes in high school and picked it up again in 2019. before i became a full time tattooer, i worked 5 yrs as a server/bartender and 8 yrs in nonprofit & local government. i now co-own a private studio @twinkle.ranch with my dear friend & work wife @cowgirlufo💞
i enjoy all kinds of artmaking, crafting, backpacking, birdlooking, touching plants, softly swaying or thrashing around to live music, and boppin’ around with my friends and my sweetie.
i believe in a future without capitalism & imperialism— where everyone is cared for & lives interdependently, in harmony with land, and without fences or cages. it’s important to me to do what’s in my power to move the needle toward that utopia! to one small end of that, i volunteer on the core team of @austin_food_forest, where we grow food, medicine & community. you have a standing invite to come check it out!🌿
i treasure each tattoo session. across the spectrum of intention— from fun, lighthearted doodles to pieces that carry deep meaning or memories of a loved one — i am honored to decorate a little piece of your body and share that space with you. big gratitude for your trust, support & love over the last few years ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
