In case you’re not familiar with me, I’m Sera Vermillion.

I have always had a passion for the arts, but growing up in a conservative Mormon home meant that tattooing was never something I considered. It wasn’t until I went to Vassar College in New York that I began to take an interest in the art of tattooing. While nurturing my newfound passion for tattoo art, I studied Chinese and Japanese literature and art in New York, Los Angeles, and Beijing before graduating with a BA in Asian Studies. My background studying Chinese and Japanese art has greatly influenced my art style, which friends and family have dubbed “Gothic Kawaii.”

I enjoy tattooing anime and video game designs, beautiful ladies, cats, plants, and anything spooky! When not in the shop, I can be found making jewelry, cuddling with my precious children (my cats), and writing poetry under the moon while sipping wine.
