Approach
Every booking begins with a clear conversation. Whether you arrive with finished reference art or a rough idea, we discuss placement, scale, and how the tattoo will age on your skin. Custom designs are drafted for one client and one placement at a time.
Studio & travel
The home studio is private and by appointment in Ruidoso, New Mexico. Mari travels for guest residencies—see the travel calendar for upcoming dates and booking links for each stop.
