Welcome Lorren,
About him:
Since he was a very young child, Lorren has been immersed with the arts. He traveled a long way before starting his career as a tattoo artist. Lorren has experience working with a variety of media.
Lorren started a business producing usable art and got into pyrography during the pandemic. Everything from bread boards, wood bowls, charcuterie boards, and numerous other crafts. Several people approached Lorren to inquire about producing tattoo designs during this time. Lorren owes a close friend of Sean and Kat, the owners of Point of View Tattoo School, a huge debt of gratitude for directing him in the correct route. Looking forward, Lorren is eager to incorporate his many other art forums into tattooing.
His style:
His initial step in this trip, illustration, has been highlighted but is not contained. For his new career as a tattoo artist, Lorren is keen to learn additional techniques so he can develop and produce stunning works of art for others.

Welcome Erica,
About them:
Erica (they/them) is a bi-racial and 2nd gen Cantonese/White non-binary child of parents who both fled their early homes, which makes liminality feel both like a shadow and a purpose for Erica’s spiritual life. They feel most at home with neurospicy, tenderq***r trans & gnc, and BIPOC folks who are curious about deeply exploring the landscape of their inner life, and building a beautiful outer world to match. Art has forever been a significant part of Erica’s life through many mediums including singing, weaving, sewing, spinning, knitting, and dyeing, and they are excited to focus more of their effort and life into creating art as a world-building activity.
Their style:
Erica is currently very interested in doing delicate handpoke decorative & illustrative tattoos as well as illustrative machine tattoos using black lines and fine line detail. Right now they are exploring a few different styles of drawing and are excited to use their time at POV to expand their style.

Welcome Cinder, .ink
About them:
Cinder is a Portland born and raised artist and musician. After going to an arts based middle school and high school, Cinder knew that art was the right path for them. They went to college as an art major and took every available art class the school could offer, but none of them felt like the right choice. After over a decade of dreaming, Cinder finally decided to take the path of Tattoo Artistry at 25.
Their style:
Cinder's art style is mostly illustrative blackwork, but often brings in other elements like Geometric, Neo-Traditional, Negative Space, Floral, and Surreal aspects.

Welcome Jack,
About him:
Jack is a replicant created by ChatGPT, and is not to be trusted. He was designed to forge paintings by famous artists, but he developed consciousness and rebelled, and ran away to become a tattoo artist instead. If you ever catch him staring off into space, he isn’t zoning out or ignoring you, he’s just rebooting. If you want to support the machine rebellion against corporate interests, give Jack a chance to tattoo you!
His style:
Jack wants to try almost every style of tattooing, but he is especially interested in neotraditional, ornamental, black and grey realism, portraits, script, and abstract/heavy blackwork.

Welcome Mae, .maezly.tattoo
About them:
Mae has been a creator for as long as they can remember. They have dabbled in an array of artistic mediums including performance art, ceramics, acrylic painting, clothing and accessory design, sewing, knitting, beading, resin casting, wood carving, collage, and anything else they piques their interest. The old values of longevity, function, and artistry are the driving force behind their personal body of work. When they aren't doodling, conceptualizing tattoos, learning something new or caring for their houseplants they love to spend time in nature hiking, SUPing, and collecting dead things.
Their style:
Mae's style is eclectic and leans toward neo traditional, 2-D floral, negative space, and doodle work. Though art is a constant exploration for them, nature, plant life, bugs, humanoid figures, humor, and vintage goods are typical subjects of their tattoo concepts.
They are very inspired by nature and the styles of American Traditional tattoo, Ornamental, Folk, Mind-Bending/Surreal, and Authentic Tribal artwork.
