EMILY

Blackwork • Stipple • Florals & Nature

Emily is a tattoo artist at Cape Fear Tattoo in Wilmington, North Carolina, with a focus on blackwork, black-and-grey tattooing, stipple shading, and botanical designs.

Her work often draws from flowers, plants, animals, insects, and other natural imagery, along with darker and more whimsical concepts. She especially enjoys floral compositions and designs that can be shaped to flow naturally with the body.

Emily also takes on select colorful and character-based pieces for clients looking for something playful and a little different.
