From her sanctuary at Electrique Tattoo, she orchestrates a symphony of rebellion and grace, where every client becomes a living canvas in her electric circus of possibility.

Multidisciplinary Mastery

Where fine art portraiture meets the electric pulse of tattooing, creating a symphony of artistic disciplines that transform both skin and soul.

Revolutionary Origins

Born in the underground tattoo scene of Oklahoma, where every design was an act of rebellion against the law that sought to silence our art.

Transformation

Here, vintage glamour collides with modern rebellion to create living art that tells your story with uncompromising fierceness.

Activism & Artistry

More than just ink on skin—each piece is a battle cry for change, a revolution rendered in living pigment.

Born in the underground pulse of Oklahoma, where tattoo machines hummed in whispered defiance of the law, DAME ELECTRIQUE found her calling in the forbidden art that coursed through back-alley veins.

At 17,

destiny sparked when a tattooist recognized the revolutionary fire in her artwork, inviting her to light up their studio opening. Meanwhile, her high school flash designs became secret passports, carried across state lines by classmates hungry for transformation.

It wasn't until her best friend's plea for a personal piece that the lightning struck—a revelation that would set her soul ablaze: 

This is my revolution to lead.

Rejecting the confined walls of traditional art education,

forged her own path through the dark.

Working minimum-wage battles by day, she saved every precious penny for the tools that would become her weapons of mass creation.

Her first tattoo—a stick-and-poke ritual performed with nothing but a sewing needle, India ink, and raw determination—marked more than skin.

It sparked a connection with a fellow punk soul, their friendship blazing through letters filled with revolutionary dreams and rebel art.
