Who’s am I?

My name is Mae Nicole.

I’ve been tattooing for over 6 years and recently have been exploring this idea of what makes my practice authentically me?

As we step into 2026, I’m looking to take a deeper, more soulful approach to tattooing, leaning more into symbolism, myths, & transformation.

Projects I’ll be diving deeper into are more neotraditional, blackwork illustrative pieces, & especially leaning towards large scale body adorning ornamental pieces.

I currently tattoo out of Neat Tattoo in Vancouver, WA near the Portland area. I often attend guest spots & tattoo conventions in different states. You can stay up to date with travel plans through my mailing list.

    Are you okay with numbing solution?

    • Yes*, as long as you have no adverse reaction to lidocaine or certain medical conditions (such as blood or liver conditions). *Contact me if you’re considering using numbing.

    Can I see the design beforehand?

    • Work-life balance is super important for me so that I can show up for all of my clients equally. Designs are typically show the day before your appointment unless the design is simplistic enough to adjust the day of.

    How much for a sleeve?

    • Sleeves are a complex beast & usually take multiple sessions. I can give loose estimates, but oftentimes, budget flexibility is required, even if it takes approaching the piece in 3-5 hour chunks. They can sometimes take a whole year of longer.
