About Zella 

Hey there!

I’m Zella, a tattoo artist based in Denver, CO! I own FolkVala Studio. I am also a nordic folk magic practitioner, guest lecturer for multiple universities, equestrian, and falconer.

My goal in this art form is to be able to take my Folk-magic craft, tattooing, and history, and mix them all together. I am offering ritualistic “reading based” tattoos, as well as more “normal” appointments.

My preferred style is black line work/etching. Currently, I am also trying to add more black work ornamental into my repertoire. I find inspiration in Baltic and Slavic weaving patterns, Icelandic staves, and Eastern European symbolism. I am always excited to work with staves, personalized sigils, norse themes, witchy, medieval, and scientific illustration-type work.
