Founder & Artist — Bee Sting Tattoo

Hi, I’m Vanessa — tattoo artist, style chameleon, and founder of Bee Sting Tattoo.

Before I ever picked up a tattoo machine, I was a tool and die maker at CNL, mastering precision and working with my hands — a foundation that now fuels the technical and artistic detail in my tattoo work. My journey into tattooing began in 2019 under the mentorship of Mike at MaxDen 2.0, where I fell in love with the craft. I later joined forces with the incredible Liz Davis at Bombshells, sharpening my skills and growing in every direction.

In 2024, I opened Bee Sting Tattoo — my own creative space where I specialize in fine line artistry and style mimicry. Whether it’s a portrait, a hyper-detailed design, or a challenge I’ve never done before, I thrive on bringing each client’s vision to life with care, clarity, and precision.

When I’m not at the studio, you’ll find me in my garden, tending to my chickens, watching my honey bees, or recharging by the water with my best pal Lou — a loyal (and slightly stubborn) bull terrier who never leaves my side.

I believe tattoos are more than ink — they’re personal, powerful, and permanent. Let’s create something unforgettable together.
