Upbeat Indigo has seen many iterations of itself over the years. As a highschooler, I started with the idea of Lucky Penny beanies, where I would sew in a "lucky penny" to the beanie brim, and donate 10% of sales to research for Alopecia. I have kept making art in various mediums such as metalsmithing, film photography, body art, and printmaking, 

 

Now, I focus on printmaking and tattooing. My style is illustrative, linework, etching, "stamp" tattoos, and nature inspired. 

​

For me, making art is my way of spreading joy, respecting and honoring the natural environments I get to play in, and helping people feel more comfortable and confident in the skin they are in. I'd love to work with you to create a piece of art you are proud to wear for the rest of your life. ​​
