My name is Carly Noëlle (you can call me either) (she /they) and I was born in Boulder, CO and have lived in the area my whole life. I’ve been an artist since before I can remember, always inviting kids in my kindergarten classes to draw mermaids and fairies with me. Growing up I was always doodling on class worksheets or working in my sketchbook. With both of my parents encouraging me to pursue art, I received a Bachelors in both Fine Arts and Psychology with a minor in Gender Studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Before college I knew I wanted to tattoo, but not yet being acquainted with the world of tattooing I decided to dedicate myself to finding artistic style in school.

Since then I have managed a hair salon in Boulder while working towards finding a tattoo apprenticeship. After steadily tattooing for the past three years it’s great to say that I’ve been so lucky to work with so many wonderful clients who trust me with creative freedom to work on their custom projects or clients that want my predrawn designs!

Imagery and themes I really connect with and take inspiration from would be folklore, mythos of any kind, art nouveau, and the like. Growing up I was constantly drawing the human figure, more specifically the female figure and find that is still a massive inspiration for my art.
