Hayley is a self-taught tattooer based in Denver, Colorado. She began hand poking in 2022 and while she still prefers the analog method for specific body parts, a majority of her tattoos are now created with a machine. She is known mostly for her fine-line illustrative and ornamental style. Although years in traditional tattoo shops left her with a strong love of American and Japanese Trad as well. She is in her happiest place when two or more of these styles come together for a truly unique piece.
Since her childhood, Hayley has had a trying relationship with her body. In her young adult life, she began collecting bold-lined ornamental tattoos, allowing her to view her vessel as a work of art. She strives to help her clients feel heard and celebrated by creating pieces that frame each unique figure.
In the heart of Denver's vibrant South Broadway neighborhood, a sinister presence lurks behind the infamous Brutal Poodle – HORRID, the city's premier horror shop. This macabre haven beckons the brave and the curious, offering a chilling blend of terror and intrigue.
Step inside HORRID, and you'll be greeted by a curated collection of horror and macabre vendors, each with their own twisted tales to tell. From spine-chilling artwork to haunting collectibles, this shop caters to the darkest desires of those who seek the thrill of the unknown.
But HORRID is more than just a retail space – it's a true sanctuary for lovers of the macabre. The back studio serves as a versatile realm for unleashing creativity and hosting events that push the boundaries of the imagination. Whether it's a haunting photo shoot or a gathering of kindred spirits, this space transforms into a canvas for exploring the depths of the human psyche.
" My experience getting tattooed was an exceptional one! This isn't your normal tattoo appointment, Hayley goes out of her way to make sure you are comfortable and love your art 100%. No misogyny surrounding tattooing here! Only amazing vibes and beautiful results! Would go (and have been) back for more! "

" After I got my first tattoo with Hayley, I knew I had met a new standard for myself and would continue to go to her for my future pieces. Her line work is exceptional, so much so that it’s commonly the first thing people comment on when they see my tattoos! Hayley makes you feel comfortable and takes the time to ensure your vision comes to life - while making my visions even better than I could have imagined them. "

" I have worked with Hayley on many of my tattoos! She is always kind, professional, respectful, and helpful. She always makes sure to talk through any adjustments you may want to make, and then walk you through what that process looks like and what happens after adjustments are made. She makes sure you are comfy and checks in on you through your tattoo, as well as offers breaks. Hayley is great and I would recommend her to anyone. "
