History

Genevieve learned the foundations of contemporary Polynesian tattooing at it's source: she apprenticed with a local tattoo artist in Tahiti. She then moved to San Francisco in 2006 to attend the Art Institute, where she received a BFA in Painting. Tattooing has since led her across the globe- she spent the past four years working in Corsica, France, before returning to San Francisco in 2014.

Specialties

Contemporary Polynesian style tattoos blending traditional Marquesan, Tahitian, and Samoan symbols to create bold, eye catching designs that compliment the wearers body. Genevieve also excells in botanical illustration, etching, engraving, linework, and floral tattoos.

Perfection! Adorable spot in the city and refreshing to get tattooed by a woman in a woman owned studio. She understood my idea better than I did, and I LOVE my new tattoo!
