About Me

Hi, I’m billie! (they/them) I’m a non-binary tattoo artist and a co-owner of Dollhouse in Berkeley, California. I’ve been tattooing full time since the end of 2018. I specialize in fine line, black and grey, with pops of color. I love creating funky vintage inspired designs, cozy corners, anything queer, honoring objects, florals, and surrealist type work. I also love tattooing a variety of much older artwork that already exists in the world. View my flash and check out my custom booking form to get more of a feel for what I like to do.

Tattooing is such a unique and collaborative art form, truly like no other. I love being able to connect with and empower my clients through art. I am a communicative person and like to make sure my clients are feeling good throughout the entire process —from the placement, to the design, to sitting in the chair, to the final healed piece.

Tattoos serve such a wide range of purposes depending on the individual, and I find that to be part of the beauty of it! Self expression, bodily autonomy, gender affirming, body affirming, honoroing life or loss, symbolic meanings, a marker in time, a right of passage, a personal art gallery, a collection of things, an inside joke, the list goes on and on! Whatever your reason is, I’m happy to discuss with you and see if we’re a good fit for the tattoo you have in mind (:
