Hey, I’m Janelle
artist, educator, and passionate advocate for helping others find their confidence through ink
I’ve been in the beauty and tattoo industry for over 15 years, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that we’re always evolving. My journey started as a permanent makeup artist, and over time, that path naturally led me into the world of fine line tattooing—where I truly found my sweet spot. I fell in love with the art of delicate detail. Today, I specialize in soft florals, precise geometric work, meaningful script, and fine line pieces that carry personal weight for the people who wear them. I don’t just tattoo skin—I hold the honor of creating something permanent that tells a story. That responsibility is something I never take lightly.
My Story
How I Got Started
After spending more than a decade working with ink, skin, and people, I realized that one of the most fulfilling parts of my career has been sharing what I know. That’s why I launched HighVibe Academy —a space for artists who are ready to grow, level up, and root deeper into their confidence. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of teaching students from around the world. I’ve hosted courses in Canada, studied techniques with artists in Brazil, and welcomed students from across the globe into my space. And I’ve loved every second of it.
For me, education isn’t just about technique. It’s about building community. That’s why every student who takes an online or in-person course with me gets lifetime access to my private forum—a safe, supportive space where hundreds of artists connect, ask questions, share wins, and grow together. It’s a place where you can show up raw and real, and still be seen as an artist in progress—because aren’t we all?
What I Do
My Why
When I learn something new, my first instinct is to teach it—to turn around and offer it to someone else who’s still figuring it out. That drive is what keeps me rooted in education and committed to pushing the industry forward with heart, integrity, and skill.
Outside the studio, I’m a mom to the most incredible 10-year-old boy who keeps me grounded, inspired, and constantly growing. He’s my favorite part of life, and the reason I show up with so much love and intention in everything I do.
Whether you’re here to book a tattoo, take a course, or just explore what’s possible in your own journey—I want you to know this space was created with you in mind. I’m not here to impress you. I’m here to walk beside you. To share what I’ve learned, keep learning alongside you, and create art and education that actually means something.
Thanks for being here. I can’t wait to meet you.
