About Danielle Payne
I bring an artist's eye and a deeply attentive presence to paramedical tattooing. My process is collaborative, unhurried, and grounded in the belief that every client deserves to feel safe, heard, and fully at home in the studio.
I am drawn to work that is both technically challenging and deeply meaningful. I love creating things with my hands, seeing tangible results, and helping people feel more confident when they leave than when they arrived. Outside the studio, I am out adventuring and caring for my two children.
My background in fine arts and tattooing, along with the years I lived in Brazil, shape my techniques and the warmth I bring to every appointment.
Your story is personal. Your treatment should be, too.
How I work
Every client is different. Every body is different.
I work intentionally and with a trauma informed mindset. Appointments are never rushed, and your comfort, autonomy, and consent are always prioritized.
