About the Author

New York- and New Jersey-based tattoo artist and painter Emma Grace Larkin began her arts education with drawing lessons at the age of five, and completed her BA in Fine Arts at Brandeis University in 2011, with a minor in philosophy. She began tattooing at Cinar Arts in Istanbul in 2012. After six years in Istanbul, she moved back to the United States to continue her tattooing career at two prominent New York City studios, White Rabbit and Fleur Noire.

Emma is the co-owner of Painted Soul Arts, a tattoo studio in Montclair, NJ. Emma's style focuses mainly on fine line and watercolor techniques combined with geometric and figurative elements. Recently she has broadened this approach to include more abstract and freehand compositions. She sees tattooing as an important way to understand, develop, and illustrate the self, and draws major inspiration from literature, philosophy, and fine arts.
