Welcome to Emmylou Tattoo
Hi, I’m Emily
I’m a mom of three wonderful children, married and living in Elmhurst. I grew up in a family of artists, so creativity has always been a part of who I am. After graduating from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with an emphasis in foundry, I worked for many years as a painter creating murals and portraits for homes and businesses. While I’ve always loved large-scale work and seeing the big picture, my natural draw toward detail eventually led me to incorporate tattooing. Creating meaningful, personalized artwork for individuals has been incredibly rewarding, and it’s a journey I’m grateful to share with my clients.
