Your Story, Written in Ink
Every tattoo I create is a collaboration between your story and my art. Whether you want a custom piece or the full ritual experience, this is your invitation to wear your truth.
The Work
Every piece tells a story. Here's a glimpse into the art that walks out of my studio.
Two Ways to Begin
Choose the path that resonates with where you are right now.
You Know What You Want
You've got an idea — maybe a sketch, maybe a vision, maybe just a feeling. I'll take that and turn it into a one-of-a-kind piece that's unmistakably yours. Color realism, black & grey, surreal, cover-ups — let's build something incredible.
You're Ready to Transform
This isn't just a tattoo. It's a ceremony. A deep-dive into your story, your symbols, your becoming. Through guided intention-setting, custom design rituals, and sacred space, we'll create a piece that marks a real threshold in your life.
Hey, I'm Zennie
I've been a tattoo artist for over a decade, but what I really am is a storyteller who works in skin. I specialize in color realism, surreal portraiture, and large-scale pieces that turn your body into a living canvas.
My studio is at Avalon Tattoo & Art Collective in New Westminster, BC. I pour everything into creating an environment where you can relax, trust the process, and walk out wearing something that truly means something.
Whether you walk in knowing exactly what you want or you need me to help you uncover it, I'm here for it. Every piece I create is designed specifically for you, your body, and your story.
Stories From the Chair
Don't take my word for it. Here's what clients have to say.
“Zennie didn't just give me a tattoo — she gave me a piece of myself I didn't know was missing. The ritual experience was unlike anything I've ever done. I walked in nervous and walked out feeling whole.”
“The level of detail in my sleeve is insane. People stop me on the street to look at it. Zennie is a true artist — she took my vague idea and turned it into a masterpiece.”
“I've been tattooed by artists all over the world. Zennie's color work is on another level. The way she blends realism with surreal elements is something I've never seen before.”
“The whole experience felt sacred. From the initial consultation to the final session, Zennie held space for my story in a way that made me feel truly seen. This tattoo is my armor.”
