Hello everyone, and Happy New Year!

Since we got the keys to the new location, things have been progressing really well here at Olinjär Studio. Getting our space ready for tattooing, publishing, shipping our magazine, and renovating our onsite Pool House for our out-of-town clients has taken some time. And I am so excited to announce that we are ready to accept a handful of new projects for 2024.

Since it's just the two of us tattooing, there has been a natural evolution for more collaborative work. Combining our personal strengths and design sense toward the best big-picture goal for the right clients and ourselves is super exciting. With these new projects, we would work together to develop the design, and then appointments can be booked for either or both of us to do the tattooing. Simply put, you would get the best work we're capable of together and get the opportunity to be tattooed by both of us. And though we're not interested in tattooing on the same person simultaneously, we work in the same room together, so there is a combined involvement in all the tattooing being done that day.

Just last week, we were able to design Kayla's back together, and I outlined it over a two-day session. It was my favorite kind of tattooing.Relieving some of the pressure of the design being exclusively up to my own brain power was such a breath of fresh air. I learned so much in the process, and I'm really excited to continue working with Jeff and our clients in this way.

We are both drawn toward nature-based tattooing with a Japanese aesthetic, primarily inspired by woodblock prints and textiles. Flora, fauna, and the elements. We have a large library of books for inspiration and guidance, so a concrete idea of your own isn't necessary; we can help guide you to represent what you want.

Large scale is preferred, full back/front, sleeves, legs. Please email

Email us at laura@olinjar.com/jeff@olinjar.com if this is right for you and we will be in touch promptly.

Also- If you're not quite ready for large-scale tattooing and would still like to be tattooed, I will be posting smaller-scale pre-drawn designs on my Instagram. One shot style Maneki Neko, Goldfish, Kokeshi dolls, and similar themes will be up for grabs throughout the year in addition to these collaboration projects.

All appointments will be at our new Studio Location in Grants Pass, OR. We are not attending any conventions for 2024.

Thank you so much to everyone; I really can't tell you how good it feels to be back tattooing full-time in such a beautiful studio.

Here's to 2024!

Laura
