The story

Location: Wander & Whim Tattoo Studio - Nanaimo BC

Hey there! Welcome to my website.

I’m Beth, a mixed Indigenous artist with Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee roots, including family connections to the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte. My practice is deeply shaped by my love of plants, ecology, and time spent outdoors. When I’m not making art, you’ll usually find me hiking through the forest, wandering antique shops, or searching for old treasures on the beach.

I’m a Scorpio, a dreamer, and collector of curiosities, and I think all these things find their way into my work.

I’m a tattooist and visual artist who creates both nature-inspired imagery and intuitive pattern designs. My tattoos often feature plants, animals, and soft dotwork, while my pattern pieces develop their own symbolic language through intention, rhythm, and flow.

I offer both flash and custom tattoos, approaching every piece with a careful and methodical process rooted in care, consent, and collaboration. I believe the best work comes from creating a space where clients feel heard, respected, and actively involved throughout the creative process.

I believe tattooing can be a meaningful way to honour personal growth, transformation, and our connection to the natural world.

Whether you have a clear vision or just the beginning of an idea, I’d love to work with you to create something thoughtful and lasting.

I specialize in:

  • Itty bitty fine line pieces
  • Delicate ornamentals
  • Big collaborative concept projects
