About Me

The words "Hi! I'm Em!" in Em Nicole's handwriting
Portrait of Em, the tattoo artist at Em Nicole Tattoos, smiling in a casual setting

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.
