Elatia is a tattoo artist based in Boulder, Colorado with a college background in both art and psychology. She approaches tattooing as a collaborative and personal experience. Her work combines fine lines with bold black and stipple shading, creating detailed, nature inspired designs. She values making clients feel safe, heard, and involved in the design process. Outside the shop, Elatia draws inspiration from fantasy books, hiking, gardening, and time spent with her dogs. She has a soft spot for guinea pigs as well. She’s also interested in restoring old furniture and finding creativity in everyday moments.

Booking Info
Before you book, deposit info:
I require a $50 deposit (+$2 for a processing fee if using square/a card) to book all appointments. This deposit goes directly towards your total. Deposits are non-refundable, but with a 48 hour notice, I am happy to reschedule your appointment. If you need to reschedule, deposits can be held up to a month after the original appointment date. Deposits ensure that you are serious about getting tattooed, and that you respect my time. If you are a no-show, or fail to give me a 48+ hours notice, I will retain your deposit. If you want to book again, we will require a new deposit.
Our shop minimum is $150, and my hourly rate is $150. I am happy to provide a general pricing estimate, however, your final total may vary depending on how long the tattoo takes/ if there are any additions (additions to design, color, shading, etc).
Once we agree to a day/time, I’ll send you my square link to place a deposit. If you would like to avoid a processing fee, please come to the studio to place a cash deposit. I require a good phone number for booking- you will receive a text 2 days before our appointment. Once your deposit has been received, your appointment is officially booked!

Aftercare Instructions
Put on clean bedsheets
No pets in bed (pet hair and saliva can introduce bacteria)
Have lotion ready
Saniderm Guidelines:
What to expect: Tattoos may ooze plasma during healing, which is normal. The saniderm protects your tattoo during this stage and you will see plasma buildup under the saniderm, this is normal as well
Removing saniderm: After 4 days, or sooner if it becomes itchy, leaks, rolls up or gets water under it
Remove it in the shower under warm running water to loosen adhesive
Peel it gently up and away from the tattoo. Do not rip it off
Cleaning Your Tattoo:
After removing saniderm, wash twice a day with unscented soap and warm water for two weeks until healed
Pat dry with a clean paper towel and let the tattoo air dry
Do not re-bandage
On-going Care:
Apply a thin layer of unscented lotion if the tattoo feels dry
Expect some peeling and itching after a few days- do not pick, rud or scratch the tattoo
Healing takes about two weeks; during this time:
Avoid direct sunlight
Avoid submerging your tattoo (swimming, hot tubs, lakes, baths)
Avoid strenuous activities that make you sweat, especially around the tattooed area (also no saunas)
Once healed, protect your tattoo with sunscreen whenever exposed to the sun
Health and Safety:
Infections are rare but possible. Follow these guidelines to reduce risk.
If redness, swelling or other symptoms persist beyond 7 days please consult a doctor
Keep me informed of any concerns.
