Tattooing is an ancient ritual.
before it was art, it was invocation. Before it was fashion, it was medicine.

This is not just a tattoo. This is a rite of passage.

Ceremonial tattooing is the sacred art of transforming skin into spellwork. These markings are living sigils, blood-born spells, and embodied invocations. Every design, every needle, every breath is part of a ritual woven with precision, presence, and care.

As a priestess, I’ve guided thousands through grief rites, empowerment rituals, and spellwork across books, retreats, and education. I’ve created bestselling decks, sacred tools, and music used in altars around the world. Ceremonial tattooing is an extension of this work - a way to weave the work into skin and to etch spells into flesh - rites that heal, anchor power, and call in transformation.

My tattoos carry the primal character of old carvings and ancestral marks. They are not meant to be flawless studio flash, but talismans alive with spirit — raw, powerful, and rooted in ritual. Each line evolves with the ceremony, becoming a collaboration between body, spirit, and ink.

Paths of Initiation

I currently offer 3 ways to receive ceremonial tattoos

Devotionals

Ceremonial tattoo sessions featuring pre-designed sigils from my Devotional Library.

These sessions are potent rites. You’ll choose a sigil from my Devotional Library (new designs drop each season). Each design is carefully crafted and carries a unique magic.

We begin by setting intentions together, weaving spellwork and breath into the design. As the tattoo is marked into your skin, it becomes a living talisman, sealed with ritual to anchor your power. When we close, you’ll receive a ritual gift to continue your integration at home, extending the ceremony beyond the studio and into your daily life.

Each session includes:

  • Your chosen sigil tattoo (up to 5 inches, arms, legs, back only)

  • A guided ritual to prepare and receive the mark

  • Sigil activation and energy sealing

  • Ritual gifts to take home

  • Starting at $333

Bespoke Sigil Tattoo Ceremonies

A deeply personal, collaborative process for those marking a life change, transition, or invocation.

These markings are designed from the ground up, incorporating your story, your symbols, and your spiritual language. We begin with a pre-ritual consultation to explore what you’re calling in (or letting go of), the solidify design, and craft the accompanying ritual and product(s).

Every element is chosen to deepen your experience and anchor the intention into your skin. I accept a limited number of tattoo ceremonies each month to ensure each client receives my full attention. Priority is given to returning clients and those called to full ritual immersion.

Each session includes

  • A pre-session consultation to create the sigil, ceremony, and ritual product(s)

  • A Customized sigil tattoo

  • Ritual designed for your needs and goals

  • Sigil tattoo print for you to take home

  • Custom ritual product(s) for you to take home

  • Only 1-2 available per month

  • Starting at $777

Initiate The Journey


A shared ritual experience for chosen family, covens, creative collaborators, lovers, or kin

This path is for those who want to anchor something together — a bond, a vow, a vision, a threshold crossed in sacred community. Sessions are held in private, with time and space to prepare, receive, and reconnect after. The ritual can be customized to honor your group’s lineage, values, or shared initiation.

Each session includes:

  • One unified sigil or a set of coordinated designs

  • A shared altar created with the group’s intention

  • Group invocation or guided ritual

  • Custom ritual product for each person

  • A collective sealing and integration practice

  • This offering is rare, intimate, and highly customized. Inquire if you’re called to cross the threshold together.

    Booking & Deposits

    All sessions require a non-refundable deposit to hold your place on my books. This deposit is not just a payment — it is a ritual act, a spell cast to claim your transformation. Once your application is accepted, your journey begins.

    Final payment is due prior to your session. No-shows or cancellations without proper notice will forfeit all payments made.

    Rescheduling Policy

    I honor the unexpected — but this is ceremonial work, not casual body art. Please respect the container.

    You may reschedule one time with at least 7 days' notice. Reschedules must be rebooked within 60 days, pending availability. If my calendar is full or you’re unable to commit to a new date within that time, your deposit will be forfeited.

  • I offer very few sessions per month. All appointments are secured via application — this ensures that each session is an aligned energetic match. You can apply here:

    Bespoke sigil ceremonies are reserved for deeper initiatory work. These are co-created in devotion to your ritual intent. They are accepted on a rolling basis. Apply if you are interested.

    Group ceremonies (Shared Rites) are offered seasonally and accepted on a rolling basis. Apply if you are interested.

  • To preserve the ritual space, sessions are one-on-one. If you have accessibility or support needs, feel free to reach out.
