Liatris Tattoo

1002 Northwest 2nd Street, Gainesville, FL 32601

Liatris Tattoo is a custom tattoo studio based in Gainesville, Florida, built around the idea of "mystical and earthly adornments for mystical and earthly beings." The work centers on nature-inspired imagery — botanical designs, native foliage, wildlife such as bats, anhingas, and moths, and architectural florals rendered in fine, etching-style linework. Pieces are often designed as personal, one-of-a-kind adornments, with an emphasis on tangled vine growth, seasonal plant life, and creatures drawn from the Florida landscape and beyond.

Alongside original custom pieces, the studio takes on partial cover-ups and blast-overs, working designs into existing tattoos so new artwork melds naturally with older ink. Larger projects are built across multiple sessions, including full back scenes developed piece by piece from hand-drawn pre-drawn designs. Booking is organized seasonally, with available dates and themed flash offered periodically throughout the year. The studio also maintains an active presence beyond Florida, occasionally tattooing as a guest artist at studios in other states. Clients can find booking forms, aftercare guidance, and policy details directly through the studio's own site.
