I love going to see Julie. She is an absolute expert at her tattooing and permanent makeup services. I've done brows and lip blushing with her. Both are beautiful and heal well. Additionally, her studio is cute, relaxed, and easy to get to, and she's a great to chat and hang with for the few hours you'r getting your work done! read more

Ack this is many many months overdue but I absolutely ADOURE Julie, her studio and my gorgeous tats! She worked with me on two designs and did both in one session and I am so in love with them. She was easy to work with and consult with, the studio was such a great space and nice relief from uber macho grungy tattoo shops. It felt boutique clean and special. I love how it came out and her line work is killer. She free handed the backside connection around my ankle and I had so much fun chatting while she worked. Could not be happier and it made me want so many more!! read more

Had a great experience at Adoure Ink getting 3 fine line tattoos. After reaching out to a few different places, I'm so glad I went to Julie. She dedicated so much time and care into my tattoos - ensuring that before I arrived, she understood my vision. Not only that, the pricing is very fair unlike so many shops in the area. My tattoos took about 2 hours and they are so well done. My friends want to come back with me to get finger tattoos! I would definitely return to this shop as I also love and prefer supporting women owned businesses! read more

My wife planned our anniversary present to be similar (not matching) red string tattoos. This is a common belief that the person you are supposed to be with in your life is connected by an invisible red thread/string. So, we wanted tats of red strings on our wrists. Both tats were hand drawn for the red hearts on the top of the wrist and knots on the back (inside). Hers was a bow and mine was a jade ring holding the strings together. These are posted in her Instagram, so search of these. The best part was that, at least for mine, was incredibly vague with minimal direction, mostly because I didn't really know what I wanted. However, after Julie started talking, she was able to definitely capture the intent with a stunning outcome. For both of us, this tat was in addition to other ink so the experience was nothing new. What was new to me was the depth of color and it mixing two shades of green ink to make the jade ring. The result is nothing short of a very realistic red string bracelet that doesn't actually move, but has life and movement with the flow and bends of the red string. Highly recommend using Julie, you won't be disappointed. read more

I got my first ever fine line tattoo with Julie and she was so very kind and friendly. She took time to draft many different designs for my tattoo. She provided great insights as to how different sizes of my tattoo would look in certain tattoo placements. Only took maybe 2 hrs. + Her studio is so chic and cute! read more

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Adouré Ink. I requested an ambigram and Julie transformed my rough reference image into a whimsical and dainty piece. When it came time to ink, I was met with a welcoming atmosphere, and Julie was so patient while I navigated size and placement. There is a lot of meaning behind my tattoo and I'm so grateful for how she brought the idea to life read more

Julie is an amazing artist and person. I had my combo brows done and she made me feel so comfortable. We had a free video consultation where she alleviated my fears then I went in for 2 appointments (initial and touch up). I love my brows now. I had thin, uneven and short brows that she help transform into full, even and natural looking brows. She got the color to match my hair and eyes and save me 10-15 minutes a day of makeup time. I feel more confident now. Additionally, Julie is so responsive, patient, sweet and fun to chat with. She makes you feel special and cared for. I really enjoyed my sessions with her. read more

Julie did my very first tattoo, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, she made me feel so comfortable and heard especially as someone who was a little nervous going into it for the first time. She took the time to walk me through everything, answered all my questions, and was so patient and thoughtful throughout the process. What I appreciated most was how collaborative she was. I came in with a vision, and she really listened to every detail I shared. She offered creative suggestions, made thoughtful edits, and did multiple retakes of the design until we landed on something that felt perfect. I never once felt rushed, just supported and inspired. Her attention to detail is unreal, and the final piece turned out even more beautiful than I imagined. You can really tell how much care and pride she puts into her work, and it shows in every line. I'm beyond happy with my tattoo! If you're considering booking with her.. do it. Whether it's your first tattoo or your tenth, you'll be in incredibly talented, kind, and capable hands. read more
