Ashley Monarch

Ashley Monarch brings more than four years at the machine to every session, specializing in realism tattoos and permanent makeup. She is also a licensed piercer and a competition makeup artist, so she thinks about skin, light and placement the way a painter thinks about a wall.

Clients say the same thing about her in different words: she does not rush. The stencil gets drawn, moved and redrawn until it is right, and then the work starts.
