Born and raised in Chicago, creativity has always been part of who I am. From a young age, I was drawn to anything involving art—sketching, crafts, design, and finding beauty in the smallest details. Even then, I knew my future would be rooted in something expressive, meaningful, and hands-on.

In 2022, I took a leap of faith and moved to North Carolina to build something of my own. Leaving home wasn’t easy, but I felt called to create a space where artistry and connection could exist together. Tattooing became that bridge for me—allowing creativity to live on skin in a way that lasts, tells stories, and holds emotion.

My vision for Madelyn Tattoos goes beyond just beautiful work. I wanted to build a studio where any and everybody feels welcome, safe, and comfortable. A place where clients can relax, be themselves, and trust the process. Whether it’s your first tattoo or your fiftieth, my goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and excited about the experience from start to finish.

Every piece I create is personal. Every session is collaborative. And every client becomes part of the story I continue to build here in Raleigh.
