how to book with Ashley

Ashley has been tattooing since 2011 and in 2019 embarked on the adventure of opening a studio with a positive environment and quality tattoo artists… and that’s how Tiger Heart Tattoo came to be.

Ashley Is transitioning into solely the owner role of Tiger Heart Tattoo and will not be taking on any new projects, only completing ongoing projects.

Who to see instead? Tiger Heart has 2 other black and grey artists, Jamie and Coyote!

Jamie specializes in micro details and takes his time to get those in there. His focus is portrait realism.

Coyotes interests are Celtic/ Norse style tattoos, Bio Organic, and realism in general.

Ashley’s tattoo tips

  • Here are two videos linked to Ashley’s Instagram explaining what to bring, but basically a big lunch kit, a blanket (can be heated) loose clothing that opens up to the area needed.

  • Easy!

    For a sleeve:

    Think of 4 main images

    Outer forearm, inner forearm, inner bicep, outer bicep.

    Now think in shapes, and what’s most important.

    -Outer bicep, The largest, most important image. (Ie: lion head or girls face)

    -Inner bicep, Round images (clock) things that may be important to you but not flow in the sleeve (script)

    -Outer forearm- Narrow images (hourglass) usually not great for faces as it can round too much.

    -Inner forearm- narrow, faces work here because it is flat. Ideal placement.

    For a leg sleeve think of 5 images

    Hip to knee is your largest area.

    Knee to ankle.

    I think of the outer leg as one canvas that flows together and the most impactful visually.

    Knee cap-I like to design a knee cap and work around it so you have something cool on your knee and don’t end up with dead space.

    Inner calf- prime spot, never warps, can fit anything.

    Inner thigh-this spot tends to warp and elongate.

    Backpiece:

    1-2 images working together, minimal fillers.

    Think of what you want for filler, I like roses and floral, smoke, wind bars.
