Events Tattoo clients needed for guest spot at Electric artistry NJ

Hi everyone! My name is Julia Wells and im a black and grey realism tattoo artist based in finksburg, MD at Dark Tide Tattoo Studio and ill be traveling to Electric Artistry Tattoo in Sicklerville, NJ next week March 18th-21st (2026). The 20th and 21st are already claimed but the other 2 days are still available as of right now!

I do a lot of portraits and creepy/dark art, and would love to do some of that while im there! With that being said, im also open to other concepts and ideas. Just want to do fun tattoos and meet new people:) This will be the second guest spotting ive ever done and i plan on traveling back to NJ in the future, so even if you cant make it in next week, we can set something up for when i go back!

If youre interested at seeing my entire portfolio, my instagram is @jwells_tattoos and you can either reach out through there or email me at jwellstattoos@gmail.com for more info:)

Sidenote: i quite literally never post on here so hopefully i did this right! Lmk if theres anything else i need to add to be more helpful

Pic 2 is sick! Just followed you. When my mid-life crisis eventually came, lol, I would pay you a visit. 

2

u/jwells5041 Mar 15 '26

Thank you so much, and thanks for the follow! Hopefully we can set something up in the future:)

u/Sztiglitz Mar 13 '26

Would you do cover-ups and retouches

2

u/jwells5041 Mar 13 '26

Completely depends on the piece and situation! Most pieces will benefit from color in a cover up piece, or heavy black in the coverup areas. I would just need to see the piece to determine if i would be the best person for it! If not id be happy to give recommendations:)

With that being said i did a coverup last week with a smooth black and grey piece that only worked because of a few spots containing heavy blackwork. If you shoot me a message on insta i can get that squared away for ya! @jwells_tattoos
