Lucy Lou Tattoos

Lucy Lou has always dreamed of being an artist, ever since she was a child. And now, she’s found a way to channel her passion for art through tattooing. 

“I was often getting in trouble at school because all I wanted to do was draw. I was just obsessed with drawing.”

Lucy loves when she gets to tattoo plants for people. She finds that it’s a great way for people to express their close connections with nature and how humans and plants are intertwined. 

“Plants are basically my religion. Plants are everything to me.”

When going into her tattooing sessions, she often doesn’t have an exact plan to follow. Lucy prefers to let the ink flow and for the art to come naturally throughout the process. 

“My tattoo process is very inspired by gardening…I'm not building a city, I’m creating gardens.”
