Caroline is specifically interested in pushing manga and anime tattoo inspired work. Her focus is on black and gray with a unigue stipple shading and fineline yet bold use of black to make her designs bold but nimble feeling, much like some of the anime characters she likes to replicate.

What makes Caroline stand out as an anime tattoo artist? Drawing on source material like the sprawling Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and retro animes like Beserk, or classic video games like Zelda - Caroline tries to capture the essence of the printed illustrations on skin. She walk's the fine line of staying true to the original design while also making the subject matter work strong as a tattoo and fit impeccably on the wearer's body, a challenging an important element when using the manga style cell designs that she will often incorporate into her work. Her character work gives a sense or urgency to the design. Each piece gives a glimpse into the narrative from the larger story arc they are plucked from. Her attention to detail as well as dynamic illustration style pair perfectly with the anime style she's often replicating in her tattoo work.

  While new to Chicago, she is quickly filling up her schedule and becoming a sought after tattoo artist. When not tattooing she has been exploring the city, finding her new favorite comic shops and coffee houses, as well as getting excited about her first Chicago summer. She's from florida so we think she'll manage the humidity well enough! We expect her books to be filled with a waitlist shortly, so please do not wait to reach out for a consultation!
