Ally has been an avid artist since a young age and at 15 years old decided that a career in art was what she wanted. Having a strong interest in tattoos she began focusing her art style in the direction of tattooing hoping to become a tattoo artist. At 18 she became a young mother and had to put her pursuit of a career on pause. She continued to develop her art through painting and drawing and eventually visited multiple tattoo shop asking for feedback on her portfolio and asking questions about apprenticeships. With options in the small town of Williams Lake quite limited she finally decided to try to teach herself to tattoo in 2018. Her progress was slow and she continued to seek an apprenticeship. In 2020 she found herself in a small shop which didn’t remain open very long. In 2022 when Parlour Eleven opened she brought her portfolio in seeking guidance and hoping for proper teaching to help her finally achieve her dream of being a professional tattoo artist. Ally’s passion for art, strong work ethic and desire to become a great tattooer are reflected in how quickly she has become a skilled tattooer. She’s draws endlessly and continues to push herself and her art. Ally is completely committed to bringing you the best tattoo experience she can. Her communication is excellent and you won’t be waiting around to hear back from her on your project ideas.

Ally specializes in black work and black and grey with dark, bold line work. She’s inspired by anything fantasy or mythology based and loves nature related subject matter, particularly skulls, mushrooms, flowers and fairycore. She’s open to all of your ideas in all sizes and even the occasional small cover up and spot color.

Ally’s home base is our Williams Lake location but she travels to both our Mission and Kamloops locations on occassion.
