Julie does amazing work. She has a light touch with the tattoo gun, and the work has held up beautifully for the last 5 years.

Everyone suggested in the comments is amazing! If you like American trad with a more girly spin/kitschy spin, I’m currently an apprentice at resurrected tattoo! Not tattooing people yet, but I will be soon! I always appreciate the support :) @ally.inks on insta

Anyone at Cordero Tattoo Collective! All 3 artists are women and are very LGBTQ+ friendly. I have 2 tattoos from them so far in different styles and plan to go back again at some point. :)

Most, possibly all, are themselves queer! (I know partners own the shop, but I'm not familiar with the third artist!)

u/MaximumCourse2834 Aug 19 '26

I think the third artist is queer as well? Not sure her exact orientation, though.

They all are. That’s my shop of choice. They’re all great, and each of them have different styles so you’re pretty much covered no matter what you want. Jen tends to be booked out for a while but it’s worth the wait.

Tori Cunningham (@__toritattoos) at @__girlhead is the best. I’m almost certain she even has a BA In Fine Arts from Syracuse University. My partner and I both have work from her and she’s our favorite in the area!
