Miranda Nephar Watson
Hello, I'm Miranda! I’m a tattoo artist located in New Albany, Indiana. I’m originally from Louisville, Kentucky just right across the bridge! I have nearly a decade of experience specializing in vibrant video game, pop culture, and anime tattoos.
Some of my favorite games and anime’s are: Legend of Zelda, Baldur’s Gate 3, Hollow Knight, Death’s Door, Chainsaw Man, Attack on Titan, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, Delicious in Dungeon, Dandadan, and Devil Man Crybaby! Although, there really are too many to name. We could be here all day an no one want to read that.
I enjoy doing illustrative, black and grey and neotraditional styles of tattooing as well, however with limited availability I’d love to focus more on video game, anime, and colorful subject matter.
Please feel free to send me your idea! If I don’t think I’m the right artist for the job, I’d love to help you find the artist that is!
I do custom work, so I’ll work with you on designing a unique piece based off of your ideas and bring them to life! I do not charge drawing fees for any of the designing process.
I prefer to do a free in person consultation for all projects, but totally understand if there are scheduling or travel restrictions. I also offer zoom, or email consultations!
If you’re interested in working together, check out my portfolio above for examples of my work!
Please feel free to reach out! I would love to hear all of your tattoo ideas! I look forward to working with you on your next tattoo!

Reiko Li
Hello! My name is Reiko (ray-koh), and I am currently a second year tattooer focusing on pop culture and video game tattoos! Half Japanese, but born and raised in Louisville Ky! Before I started working as a tattooer, I studied and freelanced concept art in Boston, and love doing any and all mashups of ideas of your favorite characters and game items along with the standard fanart!
Some of my favorite current content include: Legend of Zelda, Cult of the Lamb, ZZZ, Dungeon Meshi, Pokemon, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Sakamoto Days but that’s just current! Apart from tattooing, I always love to paint, play games, and am a giant foodie
I love doing color, but am also open to black and grey! I do not tattoo realism currently, but any other styles I am up for the challenge! As I continue to grow my career, I will always be open to your ideas, so please feel free to send any and all information; if I feel I can’t tackle it, I will recommend you to the next best artist! (If you’re up for me taking on a piece I haven’t done much of, I will always discount it!)
If you’re interested in a consultation, I offer free in person or video call appointments! I am taking both appointments and walk ins, and offer a variety of flash every week that I post on Instagram.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out anytime through email or on my socials! I hope to work with you soon and thank you always for the trust!

Heather Taylor
Hello! My name is Heather Taylor! I am a junior artist and am in my second year of tattooing. I was born in Louisville and lived in Indiana for most of my life. I came back to Louisville when I met the love of my life. My husband and I have a daughter and three dogs!
I’ve loved art my entire life, I’ve been drawing since I was a child! I even won an art scholarship in High School which was super rad! I really got into digital art more seriously during quarantine. It’s what really fueled my days and it’s actually what got me into tattooing. It’s also what got me invited into the career! I had a small sticker and prints business online and had a successful Tiktok. I still sell stickers and prints in person at different vending locations!
I’m very interested in Pokémon, anything Kawaii, neotraditional, stylized floral, everything cutesy, creepy, colorful, black and gray, line work, video game inspired, animals, and all the nerdy stuff! I really enjoy putting my own style on things, whether that be neotraditional or kawaii. But I can also do other styles as well!
I’m always open to questions and inquiries! I’m typically quick to reply. I’ve been told numerous times that getting tattooed by me feels like a hangout session with a friend and that makes my heart so happy. I truly value my work and my clients. I’m so thankful to find a career that’s so fulfilling and meet so many wonderful people! The trust has been monumental to me!
You can reach me on Instagram or through email! I hope to see you soon!
