Lindsey Chevalier - Tattoo Artist- Color Realism , Illustrative, Traditional, Neo Traditional.
As a tattoo artist, I believe it’s important to be well rounded in all styles and subject matter of tattooing and to regularly step outside of the bubble of comfort. Each style has a specific skill set required to execute it. All together these skills make an artist stronger and give a better understanding of how to create not only a good tattoo, but a piece that will age well over time. I believe this sets me apart from other artists who may specialize in just one subject matter. However, I still have my favorites. If I’m being specific to styles, I would say that I’m most known for my illustrative and color realism work along with my pet portraits. I have a strong passion for traditional style tattoos as well. I love to tattoo all things nature related with touches of whimsy and magic. It’s a passion that stems from growing up in a family that was always outside, hunting, camping, fishing, you name it. I love looking for the overlooked details in nature, the spiral of a snail shell tucked in the moss, mushrooms growing from the decaying trunks of proud oak trees.. The bones of a buck who died last winter, found in spring with white flowers stretching forth from the promise of life in the newfound season. The branches of elderberry bushes, heavy with their shiny, black medicinal fruit. I love being able to design tattoos related to those subjects, that resonate with others who share my passions for the outdoors. Overall, I’m proud and honored to give people beautiful artwork that they love, and inspires them to love themselves just a little bit more.
