03Styles & Services
What Michelle creates
From a first tiny fine-line piece to a full custom botanical, every tattoo is drawn for one person and one story. Here is the range she works in.
Custom Designs
Original, one-of-a-kind tattoos drawn around your story. Michelle works with you from first sketch to final line, turning meaningful ideas into pieces you carry for life.
Fine-Line & Botanical
Delicate fine-line florals, botanical illustration, and minimalist script. Clean, flowing line work with a steady hand, from a single stem to a full composition.
Black & Grey Illustrative
Detailed black and grey work with dotwork shading and depth. Koi, hummingbirds, and whimsical custom imagery rendered with soft gradients and crisp linework.
Scar Coverage
Thoughtful, compassionate tattooing over scars and skin you would rather reclaim. A judgment-free process focused on helping you feel at home in your body again.
Color & Signature Glitter
Vibrant color work and Michelle's signature glitter ink for pieces that catch the light. Bold reds, soft purples, and palettes built around you.
Small & Meaningful
Micro-tattoos and fine-line pieces made for wrists, ankles, forearms, or behind the ear. Small in size, big in meaning, perfect for a first tattoo.
04The Ink Therapy Approach
“Tattoos have always been a way to turn pain into power.”
Ink Therapy is more than a studio name. It is how Michelle works, one calm, unhurried session at a time, helping people mark what matters and feel at home in their own skin.
- 01
Compassion
Every session is a calm, welcoming space. Michelle works with clients ages 16 to 92, and meets each one exactly where they are.
- 02
Zero Judgment
First tattoo or fortieth, covering a scar or marking a milestone, your reasons are yours. No pressure, no judgment, just care.
- 03
Meaning
Tattooing as a kind of therapy. A way to turn pain into power and wear the things that matter where you can always see them.
