About Steph

Born and raised in Nebraska, Steph began tattooing in Omaha under her mentor Troy Christensen (Rest In Power) in 2009. She worked under him for five years until making the move out of the Midwest and towards the West Coast.

Steph moved in Portland, Oregon in 2014 where she now works in a private studio aptly named Nice Time Tattoo, where she works alongside her good friend Brynn (@brynntattoos).

Steph enjoys tattooing in the traditional style due to its bold lines and solid color. She loves taking this approach to create fun and humorous designs that her clients will be excited to wear.

Her inspiration comes from strong women, pop culture, vintage aesthetics, the inappropriate, and the obscure .

In Steph’s house they pray to Cher.
And in that house lives her and her sweet pup, Princess Mayonnaise of Buckman.
