Addie (they/them) is a co-founder and tattoo artist at For Keeps Tattoos in Brooklyn, NY. They travel often between Chicago, New York, and Austin.

Alongside tattooing and making art, Addie loves to create a fun and lively environment with laughter and positive energy. Their current work consists of adaptions of old ass paintings and other shit. Addie specializes in black and grey work but hopes to explore doing more color pieces.I am an abstract artist based in Chicago, IL. My work in psychiatry, walking beside people on their mental health journeys, has shaped how I see the world: complex, textured, deeply human. I carry this into my art, where I explore emotion, movement, and the quiet language of expression. I’m drawn to vibrant colors and textured layers, often incorporating abstract faces and figures into my work.
