About Betsy
Hi!! My name is Betsy and I am a client-lead queer tattoo apprentice working out of Hidden Gem Studios in Cardiff! I mostly work in blackwork with whimsical, illustrative designs. I find most of my inspiration for my art within nature, animals, and the people around me but I am still learning and growing as a tattoo artist. I love tattooing because the practical application of my art gives my creativity a larger purpose and allows me to connect with my clients and meet new people! I also find that tattoos can help people become more confident in themselves and their bodies and it is a privilege to help people achieve that!
Betsy's Style
Fine Line & Blackwork
Betsy’s work is whimsical, detailed, and rooted in the natural world. Think delicate illustrative pieces with a handcrafted feel, flowers, creatures, and organic forms rendered in clean blackwork linework. Her designs have a storybook quality to them, the kind of tattoo that looks like it was drawn just for you, because it was.
As an apprentice, Betsy brings fresh eyes and a genuine passion for the craft to every appointment. Her style is still evolving, which means clients get something that feels current, personal, and full of character.
