ABOUT. I'm Joe, designer and illustrator from Minneapolis, MN. I'm currently working toward my full tattoo license in Bloomington. My interests in tattooing include art nouveau styles, botanical, occult, vintage, and curios. I also enjoy nerd stuff (D&D, video games, anime, literar). As a queer person of Chinese descent, it's important to me that my space is welcoming and safe for the LGBTQ+ community and people of color. BOOKING. I'm currently booking about a month in advance, but I usually have openings same month (sometimes even the same week). Studio is open Thursday-Saturday in the late morning/early afternoon. If you're interested in booking, or want to chat about an idea you have, send me a DM or use the contact form on my website at NEPENTHESTATTOO.COM PROJECTS I'D LOVE TO DO. I'm interested in all kinds of projects, including custom designs. The list goes on, but the things I'm most interest in exploring include: Lettering & Literary. Art nouveau, botanical, and ornamental. Fingers and hands. Brushstroke, calligraphy, and inkwash. Creatures, critters, and cryptids.
