Meet our Artists
Whimsy and magic are both always at the forefront of Vannessa’s illustrative and colorful tattoo style! With a Taiwanese ancestry steeped in Buddhism and spirituality, they aim to create designs and tattoo experiences that harness the powers of deep understanding, returning home to one’s self, and all things ethereal.
Vannessa has been tattooing full-time since 2020. In 2021, she moved to New York City from Houston and a few years later, opened her very own studio space in Brooklyn in 2023—Meadow Sky Studio. Keeping safety and heart at the root of their artist mission, you can read her intimate Founder’s Note here.

Apprentices
Chloe Berry (she/they) @cozy_snail_pokes
Tattoo Apprentice
Chloe is a software engineer with a lifelong love for art and whimsy. After moving to NYC from Florida, she finally took the leap into tattooing and began her apprenticeship at Meadow Sky. Her style is cozy, blending gentle, illustrative designs with inspiration from childhood wonder, nature, and magical moments in everyday life.
More than anything, Chloe values creating a safe and welcoming space where clients feel heard and comfortable. She’s excited to grow as an artist and connect with others through her work.
Indra (she/they) @bushbabytattoo
Tattoo Apprentice
Being an artist by blood means that for Indra, the universe has allowed them to communicate with the cosmos in a way they hope to translate in every facet of their artistic practice. Having trained as a stop-motion animator and illustrator, Indra’s work reflects a deep love for fantasy and the natural world, through attention to detail, movement, and imaginative storytelling.
Born and raised in NYC by a strong spiritual mother figure from Brazil, and sensitive father from the far stretches of mountains up north, Indra’s work is a collective ode to our connection with the inner voice and strength in self-identity. Their interest in the preservation of natural history (such as taxidermy and textiles), and finding joy in play (such as sculpting tiny custom tamagotchis) has allowed this empathetic energetic exchange to fuel their tattoo journey.
Indra believes in creating a safe space where the body and spirit are seen, heard, and at ease, and aims to ensure sessions are grounding and sweet, so clients leave feeling taken care of and empowered in their skin. All bodies are beautiful, all are welcome.

Georgie is an artist specializing in detailed illustrative linework. With a Bachelor's in Illustration, she has honed her artistic skills, often using clean, fluid lines and simple shading in her work. She enjoys drawing characters, creatures, and anything cute that sparks joy and creativity. She is most inspired by tattoo artistry as being a tool to add exciting embellishments to another person's life, sort of like doodling and filling up space with decor. Their main artistic influences come from the cartoons they grew up watching like the powerpuff girls, adventure time, etc. Georgie is excited to begin pursuing her dreams of becoming a tattoo artist, and hopes you will trust them to collaborate on your next piece!
