Hi! My name is Cassie (she/her) and I am the artist behind Velvet Monkey. I specialize in fine-line black and grey tattoos and am interested ornamentals, romantic or creepy-cute imagery, botanicals, sentimental objects, nostalgic characters, numbering & lettering tattoos. I began learning how to tattoo independently in January 2023 on fake skin, and began tattooing myself and close friends in April 2023.

I have a love and admiration of the sacred art of body modification and feel privileged to provide anyone (18+) with the opportunity to adorn themselves.

I firmly believe in open communication and not rushing the tattooing process; designs are always sent in advance so clients can have time to request changes. I allow extra time within appointment windows to ensure clients are absolutely confident with the design, size, placement and style of tattoo. I am a queer woman & Velvet Monkey will always be a safe space for all LGTBQ+ people, skin tones and bodies.
