Janice Komar

Hi there! I’m Janice, a tattoo artist shaped by a lifelong relationship with art. I’ve been painting since 1989 and tattooing since 2008, carrying decades of creative practice into every piece I place on skin. Art, for me, has always been about connection, between image,  emotion, memory and meaning.

I work in both black & grey and color, moving fluidly across styles and subjects. I’m drawn to pet and people portraits, gothic and ornamental work, geometric forms, traditional and neo-traditional tattooing, nature, Asian-inspired art, florals, tribal designs, and thoughtful cover-ups. Whether your idea is fully formed or still finding its shape, I enjoy helping it unfold into something lasting and true to you.

I approach each consultation with gentle patience and careful listening, creating space for you to feel at ease. Drawing from a deep inner library of imagery, cultural art, design, and history, I translate feelings and stories into tattoos designed to age beautifully throughout your life.

Every session is guided by your comfort. Silence or conversation, long sittings or shorter sessions. I don’t think there’s one right way to be tattooed. I strive to create a warm, grounded, and welcoming environment.

My foundation in painting has taught me how light, tone, and texture create depth and emotion. My digital art experience allows me to thoughtfully refine and finalize designs with clarity and precision, helping the process feel focused, intentional, and aligned from start to finish.

My goal is for every client to leave my chair feeling heard, cared for, and confident in their tattoo. I’m honored to create art that becomes part of your story. I strive to make the entire experience one that you can look back and feel good about.

I offer free in-person consultations, as well as phone, video chat, email, and text options, so we can connect in the way that’s best for you.

Thanks for reading!
