TATTOO ARTIST Lily Allison

...is a reflection of her clients’ stories, allowing them to wear their individuality proudly.

Growing up in Des Moines, Iowa, Lily made the bold move to Colorado in February, where the stunning landscapes and vibrant culture fuel her creativity. Her artistic journey began long before tattooing, as she initially pursued a major in fashion and design. Drawing has always been her first love, and her early fascination with creativity in clothing design soon evolved into a deeper passion for sketching intricate designs.

Tattooing entered her life unexpectedly when she began working the front counter at a tattoo and piercing shop. Enchanted by the rich history of the craft, she immersed herself in learning and honing her skills, which led to an apprenticeship at the very shop where her journey began. Since then, tattooing has become her most fulfilling outlet for creativity, bringing immense joy as she connects with clients and brings their visions to life on their skin.

On her days off, you’ll find Lily lost in fantasy novels, upcycling clothing, or crocheting. She is always learning, constantly refining her technique, and excited to see how her work will evolve over the next decade. For Lily, tattooing isn’t just a career—it’s an artistic journey she’s grateful to be on, with endless possibilities on the horizon.
