About

Hi, I’m Claudia!

I’m a handpoke tattoo artist based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I’ve been tattooing since 2022. I’m primarily self-taught with lots of support from the handpoke tattoo community in the Twin Cities.

I love to tattoo illustrative and ornamental tattoos with dotwork/stippled shading. I especially love tattooing abstract designs that flow with the moving body.

When I’m not tattooing, you can find me knitting, making linocut prints, rock climbing, or spending time outside in the summertime!

I currently tattoo full-time. Before tattooing, I graduated from Barnard College with a degree in neuroscience in 2021. For the next 3 years, I worked at the U of MN Twin Cities as a research lab technician. I apply sterile processing and cleanliness techniques I learned in the lab to my tattoo practice.

I live with my partner and our cat, Mango, both of whom I love very dearly!
