Juli is a kind and incredibly talented artist. After a few months of doing some reach on socials, I chose her (a recurring guest artist) out of 6 local Vancouver artists.. to my surprise, she was actually moving to Vancouver soon after I reached out. Her portfolio of big, intricate, and personalized tattoos really caught my attention. Through our conversations before meeting, I was confident she was the right artist for me. She was up front about costs, availability, and estimated timelines. Juli happily accepted all of my references and made sure all of my “must haves” were included. her vision of blending my current tattoos to my new ideas really got me excited! On the day of the appointment, she was warm and professional. She offered a comfy set up with blankets if needed and a phone/tablet stand; she also gave thoroughly instructions prior to my arrival about what to do/bring/expect. We took many breaks as needed and we ultimately finished as much as we both could in that first 8 hour session. I am beyond impressed by her work ethic, speed, and attention to details. She applied a rough stencil on my arm and then freehanded the bigger details; she was confident and did many trials before the actual needle. She had my reference photos printed as her guide and she didn’t miss a single detail. The white highlight and shadows and placement of the flowers/plants created the half sleeve of my DREAMS - it flowed and almost looked 3D. I was in shock how much she was able to accomplish in one day. Aside from the areas of skin with old/healed eczema (as expected), the entire piece healed wonderfully and barely needs touching up. I am so excited to finish this project with her, and I would absolutely recommend her for her intuition, artistic eye, and warm personality.
