WHO is Dog Tooth Tattoos?

Hi, I’m Zoe—a lifelong artist and intentional tattooer based in Redding, California.

Art has always been a part of my life. I can thank my mother who passed down her creative spirit and artistic abilities. My parents helped shape my love for self-expression and appreciation for individuality. Tattooing became a natural extension of that—a way to make identity visible, to say something without needing words, to carry meaning on the body in bold or subtle ways.

My style is open and ever-evolving. I enjoy exploring a wide range of subjects and techniques, and I’m always up for something new—whether that means experimenting stylistically or taking on a challenging concept. I see each tattoo as a collaboration, and I’m drawn to the personal meaning behind every piece.

Before tattooing, I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology and spent years working in the mental and developmental health field, supporting others and building real connections. That experience deeply informs my approach to tattooing. For me, appointments aren’t just about ink—they’re a form of self-care. I aim to create a space that’s grounded, therapeutic, and cathartic, where you can feel safe, seen, and celebrated.

I currently tattoo in Redding, CA, but I love to travel and am always open to guest spots both near and far. If you’re interested in working together or have any questions, feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect!
