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.

How much for a sleeve?
I can’t possibly answer that until I get more information. Even so, sleeves are a complex beast & usually take multiple sessions.
