Tattooing since 2017, Monica is known for her colorful, illustrative custom tattoos that bring imagination to life. Her work often draws from pop culture, horror movies, magical animals, florals, and insects, though she’s always up for whatever her clients can dream up. Apprenticed in Baltimore, Monica specializes in vibrant color work and cover-ups and has extensive experience tattooing on all skin tones. She’s also the shop’s playlist master, setting the vibe for every session. When she’s not tattooing, she’s likely playing video games, hanging out with her and Austin’s dogs, Peyote and Snoppy, treasure hunting on marketplace, hosting watch parties for whatever show everyone is watching, or doing something boring like bookkeeping or managing this website.

For booking, visit her website at www.monkah.com. She’s usually booked 4-6 months out, with an hourly rate of $225 and pieces typically ranging from $350 to $900. Monica is available Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
