Amanda's passion for tattooing began in high school, where she studied the art of tattooing for a graduation project. She then began a two-year apprenticeship in 2001 near the end of her junior year, and by her senior year, she was already tattooing her close family and friends. She continued to work hard and strived to excel in her newfound craft. Moving around and tattooing at multiple shops, Amanda still wanted to push for more. In 2010, she started traveling, working conventions and doing guest spots, while also taking classes for permanent cosmetics. Then, in July 2017, she opened her very own shop: Tell-Tale Art Studios. Amanda enjoys all styles of tattooing but leans more towards bright color work, realism and fantasy.
