Gender-Affirming Tattooing: Honoring Every Body, Every Journey

At Alchemy, we believe that everyone deserves to feel seen, affirmed, and empowered in their skin. This Pride Month, we’re proud to spotlight a service that goes far beyond aesthetics—gender-affirming tattooing.

Whether you’re healing from top surgery, pursuing phalloplasty, or seeking tattoos that reflect your truest self, Alchemy offers a safe, inclusive space and highly specialized services tailored to the trans and nonbinary community.

🩹 What Is Gender-Affirming Tattooing?

Gender-affirming tattooing includes:

• Scar camouflage after top surgery or phalloplasty

• 3D nipple-areola tattoos for a realistic, natural appearance

• Phalloplasty tattoos to enhance realism and create a cohesive aesthetic

• Symbolic or artistic tattoos that help mark major milestones in your journey

These services aren’t just about art—they’re about affirmation, autonomy, and healing.

✍️ Why Alchemy?

I’ve worked hard to create an environment where every client is treated with respect, sensitivity, and expertise. I’ve completed advanced paramedical tattoo training and continue to seek out education from LGBTQ+ leaders and medical tattoo experts so I can better serve the community.

Here’s what makes Alchemy different:

• Private studio located in South Charleston, WV

• Insurance billing available 

• Travel options to reduce barriers to access

• Trauma-informed care and in-depth consultations to make sure you feel safe and in control every step of the way

💬 Representation Matters—So Does Accessibility

In a state like West Virginia, where access to gender-affirming healthcare can be limited, I’m committed to being part of the solution. I source grant funding and offer flexible travel options to make sure these essential services are within reach—regardless of income or location.

🌈 Come See Me This Weekend at Putnam Pride!

I’ll be at Putnam Pride on Saturday, June 28th at Eleanor Park with information about Alchemy’s gender-affirming tattoo services, examples of my work, and some goodies to beat the heat. Whether you’re ready to book or just want to chat, I’d love to meet you and hear your story.

If you’re ready to explore what’s possible through gender-affirming tattooing, I’m here when you are. You deserve to feel at home in your body—and your story deserves to be celebrated.

With pride.
