About Lea

I’m a mom to three littles and a lover of all things creative. Art has always been a huge part of who I am. I’ve been drawing since I was a little girl, and creating has always been my safe place. Growing up watching my dad tattoo my mom sparked something in me early on and opened the door to a deep love for the craft, the creativity, and the meaning behind tattooing.

That inspiration eventually grew into my own career, and I’ve now been tattooing for five years. As the owner of Black Velvet Tattoo, I’ve built a space that reflects the kind of work I love most, bold, expressive, and full of personality. I’m especially drawn to colorful tattoos, neo-traditional designs, and work that makes a statement. I love creating pieces that feel fun, unique, and unapologetically beautiful.

For me, tattooing is more than just putting ink on skin. it’s art, connection, and self-expression all wrapped into one. Every tattoo is a chance to create something meaningful and visually unforgettable.
