Hi! I’m Janine, and I’m a tattoo artist and illustrator currently living in Vancouver, BC, Canada. I love art, 90’s hip-hop, fashion, pop culture, and tequila. I’m lucky enough to call beautiful Sacred Heart Tattoo in Mount Pleasant my home studio, and I’m so grateful to have found my dream job in tattooing.
I grew up in small-town rural Alberta, and have been drawing since I can remember. I have a certificate in Visual Communication Design and Illustration from Grant MacEwan College in Edmonton, Alberta, and worked as a graphic designer before I started tattooing in 2015. I enjoy tattooing in almost any style, but I especially love bold/bright colours, botanical illustration, animals, pop culture tattoos, and blackwork scientific illustration.
When I’m not tattooing, you can find me travelling, going to live shows, hanging at the beach, or working on art at home with my sweet little hairless cats.
I’m looking to guest spot in new cities and network to continue to learn and grow as an artist, I thrive on new experiences. I love meeting new people and being inspired by travel, I’m very social and love connecting to other artists in different places!
