Jocelyn McGregor

My roots are now decades deep in Sacramento but was transplanted, as a mere sapling from Minnesota sometime in the 1900’s. I have an obsession with houseplants. I love to garden, cultivate and grow things. My most favorite and most challenging thing to help grow and thrive is my kid. My fellow Millennial, cycle breaking parents engaging in gentle parenting while also going to therapy... I see you, I am you.

As a lifelong artist and lover of learning, I'm always excited to consume more knowledge and expand my brain. Don't take me on vacation, take me on a field trip. I'm a nerd for the natural world. I took every art class I could and tried every medium I could. I hold a BA in Photography from CSUS but it's tattooing that's held my focus longer than any other art form.

I've worked in the tattoo industry since 2009, been tattooing since 2013 and held a resident artist position at Old Republic Tattoo Company since 2016. I enjoy cultivating the evolution of my art through building my technical skill while integrating knowledge of art theory, science & the natural world. This, alongside building meaningful connections with my clients through their lived experiences makes me a better artist and a better human every day.

Whether you know exactly what you’re looking for in a tattoo, or only have a handful of concepts, I love taking the journey with each client to brainstorm, solidify and create a piece that you’ll be happy with forever.
