Julie Mae tattoos at Ink Cathedral, 625 N Central St in Knoxville, alongside Grace and Emily. Her work leans dark and ornamental: crisp black line, soft shading, and a little red where it counts.

She’s best known for ornamental swords, daggers and axes, often wrapped in flowers, snakes or moths. She also does a lot of floral work, fine-line pieces, sea life and creatures, anime characters and seasonal flash.

Most pieces start as a conversation. Bring references, a placement and a rough size, and she’ll draw something that’s yours.
