Meet Ella

Hi, I’m Ella! I started my tattooing journey in 2021 during my senior year of high school. I apprenticed in Cornelius, North Carolina, and then took my career to Knoxville, TN, when I began college.

I spent my four years of undergrad building Ella’s Etchings and balancing a lifestyle as a full-time student, tattooing, playing soccer, and spending time with friends. I graduated from UTK in Summer 2025 with a Bachelor of Arts and a minor in Entrepreneurship.

I have been at Golden Heart Tattoo Co in Seymour, TN, since 2022, where I have created hundreds of tattoos and memories with my clients and coworkers. I specialize in fine-line and black and grey tattoos. I enjoy tattooing plants, animals, ornamental work, script, and so much more.
