Ariane Lapointe (she/they) is a multidisciplinary artist based in “vancouver” bc.
Her tattoo practice started with simple handpokes on friends, evolving into more intricate pieces and compositions once she transitioned to machine. She has now been tattooing for more than 8 years.
Long term art history fan, her style constantly evolves based on different art movements. She is currently exploring color within fauvism, impressionism & expressionism. She is also inspired by older woodblock illustrations.
While focusing on tattooing, she also has a painting practice that leans into the abstract world. This helps balance her creativity while tattooing. Alongside painting on canvas, she is using wood as a support for freedom of shapes.
Her work has been described as whimsical, flowy, magical & dreamy.
She likes light, movement, and weird blurry selfies that make her feel like an “artist”
