Biography

Reverie Thornhill is a full-time tattoo artist and painter specializing in black and grey work, with a focus on conceptual realism, fine line detail, and ornamental design. Self-taught and working professionally since 2014, her practice is rooted in technical precision, movement of body composition, and client collaboration. 

Her artwork draws influence from interfaith theology and anthropology, which brings a grounded intention to every piece she creates. She believes tattooing is an alchemical process, and enjoys making custom designs that are transformative for her clients.

Tattooing for me, is a ritual by nature. My number one priority is my client’s happiness, comfort, and safety. This tattoo is for you. From the consultation to the tattoo session, it’s my pleasure to create a cozy and fun experience. I want your session to be as meaningful as the tattoo itself.

I believe that tattooing is a deep energetic exchange, and I invite you to use it as a tool to connect deeply with your body. You may have emotions or new thought patterns emerge throughout the process, and I encourage you to take notice of them without judgment. No matter the meaning of the tattoo for you, I am happy to support your self-expression.
