Anna has been tattooing at Crimson Heart Designs since 2015. She specializes in black and grey realism, bringing wildlife, florals and portraits to life, with a particular passion for animals and beautiful women.
When she’s not in the studio you’ll find her fishing, making art, gaming, or deep in a good book. Her love for the craft shows in every piece she creates.
“I love the freedom and creativity I get from tattooing.”
“The designs I enjoy tattooing most are neo-traditional, traditional, watercolor, trash polka, abstract, graffiti, black and grey non-photo realism, landscapes, script and floral motifs, but I’m always up for a challenge. Part of what makes it fun for me is coming up with new design ideas.
I’m a proud husband and father and take that role very seriously. My degrees in fine arts, education and design have added to my knowledge as an artist, but far more significant is a strong intuition for layout and design. I love educating people about the arts and the significance of tattooing as an industry. It would be my pleasure to work with you on your tattoo ideas.”
Keira is the newest member of the crew. She completed her tattoo apprenticeship under Michelle Nordeen and Tony Kofakis, holds her Bloodborne Pathogens certification, and is excited to bring your ideas to life.
Outside the studio she draws and paints in styles like art nouveau, realism, expressionism and folklore illustration, and that illustrative eye carries into her tattoo work. Reach out to her by email or call the studio to set up an appointment or consultation.
Maraya started at Crimson Heart Designs as a piercer in 2018 and completed her tattoo apprenticeship in 2019. She prides herself on being versatile and is proficient in black and grey as well as color, but watercolor is her absolute favorite.
She comes from a family of artists with art-school backgrounds and draws a lot of inspiration from them and from music. Her work spans mandalas, watercolor, fine line, Nordic and Celtic designs, and mystical tattoos for anyone looking to find the magic in life. Fairytales and folklore are always invited.
Michelle owns Crimson Heart Designs. She joined the studio in 2010 and has more than 15 years of tattooing behind her. She also spent eight years as a body piercer, and her work has been featured in Skin & Ink and Pain magazines.
Her style is bold and vibrant, drawing on neo-traditional, new school and watercolor. She loves bringing to life designs that celebrate outdoor adventures, nature, flowers, skulls, animals, and anything with playfulness and attitude.
Tim grew up locally with a love for art and creativity that led him naturally to tattooing. He’s known for a unique blend of traditional-style tattoos, bold color work and precision lettering.
His work pairs classic techniques with a modern touch, creating bold pieces that stand the test of time. When he’s not in the studio he enjoys fishing and playing frisbee with his dog.
Tony has been tattooing since around 2005 and has tattooed thousands of people, “some truly amazing souls,” as he puts it. He also helps the artists behind the scenes, runs the studio’s social media, and organizes walk-in days and events.
He takes very limited appointments in Americana, Celtic and Traditional Japanese. To talk about one, stop in and see him in person. Off the clock he races BMX and mountain bikes, and he and Lisa can often be spotted on their tandem.
Lisa founded Crimson Heart Designs and started tattooing in 1991. A U.S. Marine Corps veteran with a formal studio apprenticeship and an Art History degree from Arizona State, she became an award-winning, internationally published tattoo artist.
In 2018 she put down the machine to start her second career as a Master Herbalist. She offers in-person and video herbal consultations and handcrafts the aftercare balm every client takes home.
