Hi, I’m Gwen. I am a licensed tattoo artist. I have been tattooing since 2020.

I work out of Cresson Street Tattoo in Manayunk, Philadelphia PA.

Please DM me on Instagram if you would like to book an appointment.

If you are unsure about what you want, just ask. We can work through your ideas together. I very rarely say no, and if I do it’s because I think there’s another tattooer who could do it better. I will point you in their direction.

My top priorities are you and your satisfaction, then the wellbeing of my workspace and my community. I choose to tattoo because it is an effective way to use my artistic talents in service to others. You will always experience a professional, clean environment under my care.

I am an all-purpose, multiskilled tattoo artist. I can and will do any style of tattoo. A quick, steady hand and a competitive attitude are some of my strengths. My photographic memory has a wide arsenal that has been built over decades. I have also been trained in dozens of styles and mediums due to a BFA degree in painting/drawing from SUNY New Paltz.

I grew up in Saratoga county in upstate NY. I moved to Philly in 2017 after graduating college. I grew up camping, traveling, and playing video games at home.

Nowadays I tattoo full time, and care for my children, Daisy and River. We spend our down time with my husband Chance, who works full time at a 30-day inpatient rehab facility. He also tattoos out of CST on evenings and weekends. We have three dogs, Gideon (sheltie), Ruth (pomsky), and Rowdy Roddy Piper (frenchie/pitbull). I love studying the Bible, napping, and walking around outside.

“She does her work with energy, and her arms are strong. She knows that what she makes is good.”
