Painted Heart Body Art

Painted Heart Body Arts explores the connection between heart, mind, and body. Through body art we work together to link intention and adornment to create art, be it permanent or ephemeral, that is meaningful to its wearer in a safe and supportive space. Marking the body is a powerful and sacred act. Tattoo, henna, and jagua each been used throughout history to support, celebrate, and reclaim various parts of self, mark rites and transitions, and to carry the wearer from one part of the journey into the next. It is my great honor to offer these services to my community.
