New Tattoo Artist Inking in Peacedale

South Kingstown and Narragansett residents now have a second option for local tattoos, as recently opened for business in Peacedale.

Owned by a 10-year resident of Narragansett, the studio joins as another option for locals. Rachel has extensive samples of her work on her Facebook page, and a few are also attached to this article.

Rachel grew up in Norton, MA, but she’s lived the past decade in Rhode Island, and specifically, Narragansett. She moved after earning a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts and Sculpture.

She’s a single mother of two children, so as a result, she’s worked a variety of jobs – at one point, four at once, and six days a week. Before opening her own shop, she was an executive administrator for an office at the University of Rhode Island.

However, while juggling the job at URI, she also completed an apprenticeship at in Portsmouth. After two years part-time at Dragon Lily, Rachel made the decision to open up her own place, closer to home, in Peacedale.

The work is by appointment only, and Rachel does all of the work herself at the private studio.

“There’s no other artists, just me, doing my art in my studio,” she said. “My medium just happens to be skin! It’s an artist’s dream.”

Using her own fine art background and imagination as support, she never does the same design twice, and she offers free consultations. She is fully licensed with the state.

To setup a consultation or to inquire about a piece, you can contact her via FB, call (401) 284-6169, or e-mail mermadmama@aol.com.
