Doctor.Finch Tattoos

I'm Emmy! I am a licensed hand poke tattoo artist from NYC, now based in Victoria, BC. I have been a visual artist for as long as I can remember, and I fell in love with hand poke tattooing as soon as I discovered it. I have been tattooing for 3 years and am still learning and falling in love with this art form day by day.

My tattoos are machine-free, made with care, and love. Each piece I create is a one-of-a-kind handmade artwork. I often find inspiration in nature, antique stores, vintage children's books, and art history.

FAQs

  • My minimum is $100 for flash or custom tattoos. I want my work to be accessible so I am always willing to work with budgets/trades just mention this in your booking form. A rough price guide <2 in:$100-150 2-4in: $150-300, 4in+: $250+. You can always email me or message me on Instagram if you want to discuss your budget :)

  • I am a resident guest at Brass Iris Tattoo in Esquimalt and regularly guest at other studios in Victoria, BC! Check Instagram for the most up-to-date info!

  • I choose to do hand poke tattoos over machine tattoos for a few reasons. First, it is what I learned and feel most comfortable with, but it also feels very natural to me. Also, my art translates very well through hand poking and I enjoy how delicate my work heals. Hand poke tattoos can take longer, but most people find they hurt less than a machine tattoo.

  • I typically book a month out using a booking form. I keep my books open until all the slots are filled for the month. The booking form is non-committal but I do my best to respond to all forms so please only fill one out if you are serious about the tattoo! My dms and emails are always open for questions.
