Missi Blue
Did we just become best friends?! If you are reading this, that means I am your ideal artist! Let me introduce myself.
I’m Missi Blue, I’m the owner of Blue Bird Tattoo in Hanover, PA
and I have been tattooing for a long time. This year marks 21 years of tattooing professionally! Wow, that makes me feel so old 😅
I guess if I had to call it something, my tattoo style would probably be classified as illustrative. It’s kind of a mix of New School, NeoTraditional, and something I like to call bubble gum traditional (once you see it, you’ll understand what I mean by that). My speciality is Pet Portraits. I love to do bold, full color tattoos and enjoy creating custom designs for my clients. I create every tattoo custom for my clients, and never replicate other people’s work.
Sorry, I don’t do black and gray tattoos anymore.
While I love doing pet portraits, it’s definitely not the ONLY thing I do. Some other subjects I love tattooing are lady faces, furry animals, florals, anything vintage especially midcentury vibes, and FOOD. Idk what it is about tattooing foods that's so fun, but I’m here for it!
Some random fun facts about me:
I was born on Valentine’s Day.
I grew up in small town in Florida just 30 minutes from the beach.
I had blue hair for 20 years, which is where I got the nickname Blue.
My favorite color, however, is not blue. Its seafoam green.
I have a 9 year old French Bulldog named Baxter.
I love the beach and snowboarding. (Yes I can be both)
I’m an early bird and usually wake up at 4am.
I don’t drink coffee, but I love caffeine.
I’m obsessed with Christmas and love the snow.
I have a VERY strong aversion to yellow mustard.
I love pizza but don’t eat it anymore.
My next bucket list trip is Norway.
I’m an introvert but have learned how to fake being extroverted and am completely mentally and physically drained when I get home every day.
I like reading but I never read fiction.
I don’t really like horror movies unless they are silly and Bruce Campbell is the main character.
My favorite bands are Descendents, Bouncing Souls, and The Menzingers.
My biggest pet peeves are slow walkers, slow talkers, and loud chewers.
My books are currently closed, but Blue Bird Insiders are always first to know when they'll be open again. You did sign up for our mailing list, right? I'm excited to work with you!
