Hi! My name is Valerie, and I’m a professional tattoo artist based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I’ve been tattooing since 2022, working from a cozy private studio called Philigree in Port Richmond. I specialize in fine line, microrealism, and minimalist tattoos, always inspired by nature, light, and delicate details — creating tattoos that feel both personal and timeless.

I believe in designing tattoos that flow naturally with the body, reflect each person’s individuality, and remain meaningful over time. Every tattoo is a unique personal story, and I approach each piece with care, intention, and a deep love for the craft.

I draw inspiration from the quiet beauty of everyday life — from the textures of leaves and petals to the play of light and shadow, vintage botanical illustrations, and small emotional moments. Nature is my greatest muse, but I also find influence in architecture, photography, and fine art, especially when it comes to structure and composition. My goal is to translate these subtle influences into tattoos that are both delicate and deeply personal.

Feel free to reach out via Instagram, email, or my booking form — I’d love to connect and hear about your tattoo ideas and projects!
