When I gaze in the mirror at past tattoos on skin from 10 years ago I can’t help but wonder – Who were you? Why did I get that tattoo? I wish it were something else much neater! At one point I told Rachel I wanted a massive cover-up on much older tattoo work by previous artists. Rachel provided a …
AMANDA FROM OREGON
After a decade of work on my canvas, I am still excited for every tattoo collaboration with Rachelg! No matter how wild or personal the vision may be, I have had my expectations exceeded as she works magic with ink and skin.
Rachel from Alaska
I am a wild child of Alaska. The green canopy of spruce trees and flitting birch leaves, white and black trunks jetting out of a sea of rolling moss beds. Crops of fiddlehead ferns unfurl from the moss throughout the year, while clusters of those petite, white dogwood flowers spring up intermittently. The memories of running through the woods, harvesting the …
Ashley from Alaska
RachelG created a wonderful mermaid pirate tattoo for me here in Homer. I wanted this tattoo on my arm to have an adventure and travel theme. What’s great about this tattoo is that is represents the alpha a woman possesses. Getting this tattoo was such a great time. The environment is welcoming as you walk into the perfect size shop by …
Logan from Alaska
My fiancé and I moved to Homer full time a few months ago and can’t express how excited we were when we stumbled upon Rachel’s Instagram account. The fact that a world class tattoo artist in our small town is just incredible. With very little direction she sketched and executed the tattoo I had been dreaming of, even better than …
Summer from Maui & Alaska
Rachel G. She has been my personal body guru since October of 2012 in Maui, Hawaii. My ritual Included attending her Yogalaties class. It’s the perfect combination of profoundly therapeutic yoga and pilates. I then would follow that up by receiving permanent body art. When designing my tattoo I met up with Rachel to discuss the core ideas that I had. She took some of my basic drawings …
Zeena from Maui
As mother I’ve wanted to have a tattoo represent my life with my two girls. Rachel transformed my first tattoo on my lower back. She created this back piece and I chose the seed of life and the honeycomb pattern to represent the start of my girls’ lives and the home that I’ve made for them. These patterns surround the …
Leah from Maui
Sometimes things happen in life, or people come your way and then things can just *click* into place. I’ve wanted a phoenix tattoo for 20 years. A long drive across the county when I was 19 and a line in a song inspired me and the idea never really faded. It’s had different forms in my head, but I never …
Chandra from Maui
I want to say thank you for my amazing new leg piece. My sea dragon has been a plan in the works for a long time. When I finally was ready Rachel was the perfect choice. My vision and Rachel’s vision, skill and style blended so perfectly together! I’m getting tons of compliments and people wanting to know who did …
Tara from Maui
As much as I love my brothas tattooing me, I’ve always wanted some beautiful ink done by a woman!! Rachel G & I talked for months about my ideas & how to transfer that 2 dimensionally to wrap around my thighs. Much easier said than done, especially since I already had 2 tats she needed to work around…but since she’s …
