Jade has always had a passion for the arts, both of her parents were artists growing up so it’s truly in her blood! Jade’s parents never made a career out of their talents so she was determined to not let her love for art to just be a forgotten hobby. When she was 14 she was giving her friends “tattoos” using eyeshadow, eyeliner and hairspray! Jade spent lots of her free time researching about the tattoo world and when she got out of high school she jumped at the opportunity to get in. She worked as a receptionist in a local tattoo studio for a year and a half and secured an apprenticeship in 2022 and joined the Parlour Eleven team in 2024.

Jade has dipped her toes into many different art forms and because of this, she hasn’t shied away from different styles. Though of course everyone has their favourites and Jade gravitates most towards anything grotesque and eery or the complete opposite, adorable and sweet. Which really plays into her personality in a funny way. If she’s able to do a mashup of both ends, she’s the happiest camper.

Dark blackwork, clean and bold line work, high contrast, smooth and creamy greys and now with more added confidence, bright and bold colour are her main focuses. Her main inspirations for her art are anime,  video games, horror movies, favourite foods, the weather and the mood she’s in at that moment… Her hyper-fixations show in her flash designs so it’s very easy to tell what she’s up to…

Jade aims to create a space where nerds can flourish! (Especially since it’s cool to be a nerd now) Nothin but laughs in her corner. She loves her clients and hearing what they’re up to and gushing about favourite shows and ranting about whatever games they’re currently rage playing.

Jade absolutely loves her job and it shows in her enthusiasm and excitement!
