Rowan Kimsey is originally from Pilot Mound, Iowa, a town whose claim to fame is having part of the movie “Twister” filmed on rural land nearby. She has lived in Portland longer than anywhere else, and considers it home, clouds and all. Rowan has been tattooing since 2003 when she began apprenticing with Peter Archer at Temple Tattoo. Her specialty is black and grey realism. When not tattooing, she can be found most often gardening. When it comes to the Lucky Mermaid, a shop Rowan founded, she believes in taking the time and attention to create art and experience that fits the vision of the client, and fosters a safe space and ritual around the transforming act of body art. Rowan is available  by appointment only. The best way to schedule a custom tattoo is go to the Contact page and send an email with your tattoo idea and placement or you can call or text the shop number at 503-804-2419. Someone will get back to you within 3 days to talk about scheduling and the custom art process. For cover-up tattoos send good photos of your existing tattoo along with your ideas about what you would like to cover it with. Someone will get back to you within a week to let you know if your project is doable and what the next steps are.
