Hello!
I'm MicKayla, owner and tattoo artist behind Silk Thorn Tattoo. I'm a detail-driven artist with a love for fine line, ornamental, solid line work, blackwork, and anything floral or nature-inspired. I opened this studio not just to tattoo, but to create a space that feels personal, intentional, and little bit bad to the bone.
​
My style lives in the in-between, where delicate and gritty meet. I love building pieces that flow naturally, tell a story, or just make you feel more confident when you look in the mirror.
​
I was lucky enough to learn under an incredible artist, and after years of grinding, learning, and drawing through nap times (yep, I'm a mama too), I took the leap and built Silk Thorn from the ground up. A lot of late nights, a little chaos, and a whole lot of drive.
​
Whether it's your first tattoo or your fifteenth, I'm here to make it a good experience.
I'm Amanda!​ I started my tattoo apprenticeship underneath MicKayla in September of 2025. I look forward to diving deep into the art of tattooing in my journey! I grew up in a very artistic and musically inclined family and cannot wait to bring some of that magic to my clients.
​
I am bringing with me a deep love for the outdoors and a drive to turn raw inspiration into lasting art. I believe tattoos should carry the same honesty and spirit as the natural world: imperfectly perfect, grounded, and enduring. As I hone my craft, I plan to remain focused on developing a style that blends organic elements with bold, intentional designs.
​
I am here to learn and grow into an artist whose work is as intentional as it is unforgettable. I am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to meet all of you at Silk Thorn Tattoo!
