Hey!

My name is Hadley Martin, and I am On Point Collective’s new tattoo artist! I have always had a love of art but, instead pursued nursing in the beginning of my adult life. I started ACCs nursing program while working as a CNA. Although I loved the career and helping people is something I enjoy; I was missing my true passion, Artwork. So why not -help- people by giving them some dope art on their bodies?!

I started off with an apprenticeship at Love N Hate Elite Tattoo Studio, in Lakewood, CO. This was a proper apprenticeship, which is unfortunately hard to come by. In the first year, I was taught everything I needed to know about tattooing, from proper sanitation to the designing process, I learned how to handle an appointment from start to finish. During the apprenticeship I started a Tik tok account (@cuttlefish_ink) where I shared my apprenticeship experience. I was lucky enough to gain a pretty decent following. Many of my clients today (including On Point Collectives Acne Specialist Marion) found me through that account, and I could not be more grateful. 

My apprenticeship lasted about 15 months before I graduated as my own artist, at the end of 2023. I am super excited to start my next chapter of tattooing at On Point Collective! I was taught that learning never ends. There is always room for improvement, and I am so thankful to each and every one of my clients who have given me that chance. 

I specialize in black & grey realism but, am also happy performing most any black & grey work in general! My sessions are generally pretty long, due to the amount of detail I portray in my work, as well as the time I take in the beginning of our session making sure your tattoo, and placement are exactly what you want. I enjoy tattooing many subjects such as: animals, nature, and floral/plants are imagery I’ll never get sick of, but I also really enjoy unique imagery that is more uncommon. 

For me, the artist and the client are a team. This is my artwork but more importantly, your body. We will work together to come up with a design that we both love, and that I’m 100% confident doing for you. Never be afraid to speak up. Whether that's in the designing process, or stencil placement. We can do a stencil 100 times to 

get it perfect simply because it matters. It’s extremely important to me that all my clients feel safe and comfortable in my space. 

Thank you for considering me as your tattoo artist. I understand how scary it can be to trust someone with permanent artwork, but as long we communicate properly, I know your tattoos are going to be pretty dang sweet :)
