Courtney
Tattoo Artist (She/Her)
$160/hr
Courtney is a black and grey tattoo artist with a style rooted in the eerie and obscure. She draws inspiration from medieval woodcuts, dark folklore, and the strange charm of historical marginalia—imagery that feels like it was pulled from the edges of forgotten texts. Her work is bold, textured, and often unsettling, with a focus on high contrast and strong composition. Shaped by a background in punk rock and a lifelong pull toward the weird, Courtney brings a sharp, intentional edge to everything she creates. Originally from Victoria, BC, she’s lived in Alberta on and off since she was twelve, and has spent the last decade grounded in Edmonton.
Since picking up the tattoo machine in 2021, Courtney has carved out a style that feels both ancient and alive. Her passion for drawing and printmaking informs every piece, as does her love for thrifting and reworking old materials into something strange and beautiful. Whether she’s sewing punk garments or altering a forgotten thrift-store treasure, her hands are always making, always conjuring. She approaches tattooing the same way—collaborative, intentional, and a little bit obsessive. (In a good way.)
Clients who sit with Courtney can expect a calm, grounding presence and a studio space that welcomes all humans. She’s committed to making every person feel safe, respected, and involved in the creative process. Whether you come in with a clear idea or just a rough feeling, she’ll work with you to turn it into something meaningful. Need to zone out with headphones? No problem. Courtney’s here to hold space and create something deliberate—something that feels like it was always meant to be yours.
