About Me

The words "Hi! I'm Em!" in Em Nicole's handwriting

I'm a custom tattoo artist who believes tattooing is a collaborative ritual rooted in intention, intuition, and care. Every piece begins with a conversation and is shaped through connection, resulting in tattoos that feel personal, never rushed, and never overwhelming.

I’m engaged to the most wonderful human, Mia, who is often my assistant at events and my biggest supporter in all things. Travel is a huge part of my tattoo journey — my body holds work from artists across Idaho, Oregon, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, and beyond. Each tattoo is a permanent souvenir of connection, and I deeply encourage tattoo travel. I hope to continue receiving and giving tattoos far and wide.

This isn’t just about getting tattooed—it’s about being seen. I can’t wait to meet you.

About My Space & Practice

Studio

My work is rooted in meaningful design and a deep commitment to the experience behind the tattoo. I’ve intentionally created a calm, clean, and welcoming process — especially for queer clients, first-timers, and anyone who may feel nervous or overstimulated.

Comfort, consent, cleanliness, and clear communication are at the core of everything I do. I’m one of two resident artists at Elsewhere, a serene studio on the Bench in Boise, Idaho. This space is safe, friendly, and intentionally not intimidating or overstimulating — and I’m so grateful to share it with like-minded clients.

I also offer event tattooing within 30 miles of Boise, bringing the same intentional experience to pop-ups, private gatherings, and special events. Use the button below to inquire about Private Events.
