My work is dedicated to the sacred  geometric nature of existence. It is my belief that through geometry we can gain a greater awareness of the true meaning of life. From the microcosm to the macrocosm, there are mathematical relationships that underlie the fundamental structure of our universe. The purpose of this work is to illuminate these mysteries.

Hi everyone! I’m Victoria -  a machine-free/hand poke tattoo artist specializing in making you feel more like yourself. I am a cat and dog mom, queer lady, and I absolutely love tattooing large scale botanical, ornamental, and blackwork designs. Anything to push the boundaries of what is thought possible when it comes to tattooing without a machine. I have always worked only by hand as I find the process to be incredibly intentional. Hand poke is much more dainty in the way it feels, and causes a lot less trauma to the skin. Therefore, my tattoos heal really fast which is always nice! I pride myself on creating a safe and peaceful environment in my private studio here in Seattle. But I always love to travel, so don't hesitate to reach out! 
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Feel free to ask any questions and I look forward to creating with you!

Aside from being a father and a husband, tattooing has been one of the most rewarding things in my life and I strive to bring that joy into each and every project I take on.

Soon after, Trav left home to spend his teenage years living on the streets, launching him into a journey of art, creation, and self discovery. Living by the philosophy that “life is art, every thought and action a brushstroke in the overall masterpiece that is our life”, he realizes his ability to create his reality, and has made and experimented with many forms of art including painting, music, photo & videography, and more. This has lead him to pursuing many endeavors in following his vision, from selling paintings on the streets of NYC, to touring the country with his art. Trav has been the president of a nonprofit in which he used to open an art gallery, opened a clothing store, raises funds for charities, and much more, all in the pursuit of discovery, expression, and building community. Trav has always lived by the punk rock ethos; diy, individualism, creativity, and activism. In this chapter of life, all of his experiences are moving through the neck of a funnel as he channels all of his passion, knowledge, and wisdom into tattooing. Right now he can be found at the Sink or Swim Tattoo Parlor, where he has carved out a space for tattoo lovers to hang out and get beautiful tattoos made with heart. Trav also likes to travel, doing conventions and guest spots, always building and preparing for the next step in his journey.

Born and raised in Perth, Western Australia, I have always had a passion for art and drawing. After completing high school, I jumped straight into my tattoo apprenticeship. I’m currently an artist at Ascendence Tattoo and Art Studio. 

Since beginning my tattoo journey in 2012, I’ve embraced a variety of styles, including watercolour, dotwork, full colour, and neo-traditional designs. I don’t limit myself to one style, but these are the ones I particularly enjoy. My dedication has been recognised with awards, including second place in the category of abstract and first place in fine line at the West Australian Tattoo Festival 2024.
