Rose
I was born and raised in the Mojave Desert but quit big horizons for big trees when I moved to Portland in the nineties. Good choices, great friendships, some luck and hard work allowed me to create Dear Heart Tattoo. I can’t imagine my life without tattooing; I fall more in love with its magic every day. I am inspired by small creatures, antique botanical and medical illustrations, secluded hikes, victorian horror and most things macabre.
When I’m not tattooing I garden, travel, ride motorcycles and get outside as much as possible. I collect bones, taxidermy, antiques and oddities. I love the changing of the seasons and wonder at the natural world.
