You can call me Sky. (She/her)
Wartooth is not my real last name. I identified with Toki Wartooth of Metalocalypse as a teen and the name just kind of stuck.
I’ve been tattooing in Oregon since 2018 but my passion for the craft began when I was a child.
Growing up in suburban Texas, I wanted to be cool to my older sister and her friends. They would let me hang out with them if I drew on them or gave them henna tattoos so I found the value in body art very young.
When I turned 16 my mom bought me my first coil tattoo machine and the chaos ensued. (Sorry, Mom)
As a lifelong ‘artist’ I’ve delved into most mediums but tattooing is by far where I feel most at home.
-
Most of my inspiration comes from lived experiences.
I have an inclination for representing digital chaos.
I create my glitchy work with a pencil as a means of decompressing and processing the constant inundating digital landscape we’re living in.
-
I will always have a passion for portraiture, capturing the human experience in anyway I can.
-
My tattoo hand has been described as “polite”, “a cat’s tongue”, “a paintbrush”, “feather-fingers”, “I don’t feel anything”.
So if you’re a baby for pain, I’m your girl.
I am so incredibly overwhelmed with gratitude that I am able to live out my career fantasies.
I appreciate each and every one of you that has sat under my needle.
I absolutely love getting to meet you all and hear your stories and each tattoo I preform is a connection I will forever cherish.
I try to foster a space of comfort and safety. As a person with lifelong severe anxiety I’m all too familiar with the dreaded feeling of walking into a tattoo studio full of “cool guys” and feeling insecure and out of place. I do my best to eradicate that feeling entirely. I take every aspect of this craft very seriously and it’s incredibly important to me that all my clients feel seen and heard if every capacity.
I’ve struggled with mental health and substance abuse disorders for most of my life so I feel called to destigmatize
I try to foster a space of comfort and safety. I want you to feel confident from the moment you walk through the door that I won’t judge or be annoyed with any request. I am working for YOU, so during our appointment you are my boss and you are always free to speak up if you need breaks, to change positions, need a snack, numbing agents, or if you maybe just can’t sit through it anymore and want to schedule a second session.
I always want everyone to feel the level of comfort you would with an old friend. As someone with severe anxiety I understand the challenge we have maybe all at some point faced walking into a tattoo studio full of “cool guys” and feeling insecure and out of place, I do my best to eradicate that entirely.
I am overly conscious of the fact that we’re living through unprecedented times and tattooing can be a form of self-care and healing.
We’re experiencing immeasurable trauma on a global scale daily and it can be incredibly difficult to get proper mental health care. Tattooing is a very intimate practice that can be vulnerable and open up some emotional wounds. I will never accuse you of trauma dumping if you need to relay what you’re going through. I’ve realized that I have gotten pretty deep with a lot of my clients and we’re able to share and learn a lot from one another and it’s one of the most rewarding aspects of my job. I’m not a mental health care professional but I’m a good listener that’s survived a lot and I’m now better equipped with tools for coping through this wild experience of life. I’m also great at small talk and general chit chat and I’m happy to tattoo quietly if you need to zone out in some headphones. Most importantly I want to convey that I take this craft very seriously and recognize the honor you bestow on me by trusting me to permanently alter your skin. It is a huge privilege to do this work and each connection I make through tattooing is absolutely sacred and cherished. I want you to feel seen and heard in every capacity so that you walk away not only satisfied with a new tattoo but radiating with confidence! Maybe this is all too much, I just love my job and it’s all a really big deal to me because I’m sentimental, okay! I appreciate you all endlessly and there just aren’t enough words for it.
