The Artist

Lacey Rawson —
Fine Art Tattooist

I'm a recognized watercolor artist based in Columbus, Ohio, working as a resident artist out of a private studio inside AION Tattoo — the home studio that champions my work — in Dublin, just outside Columbus. Every tattoo I do is a collaboration — you bring the concept, I bring it to life on skin.

My work draws from fine art principles: composition, color theory, negative space. I've spent years painting before I ever picked up a tattoo machine, and that training shows in everything I make. Watercolor is my signature — painterly, expressive, built to last.

Beyond tattoos, I paint original watercolor pieces and work in ceramics. The same artistic voice runs through all of it.

What I Do

Specialties &
Styles

Watercolor Tattoos

My signature. Vivid color washes, soft edges, movement on skin. Anchored with subtle linework so the color holds for years — not months.

Botanical Tattoos

Flowers, leaves, vines, herbs. Organic forms with fine detail and intentional composition. Natural subjects, interpreted — never traced.

Abstract Tattoos

Shapes, forms, and color without a literal subject. Concept-driven and conversation-led — we figure out what it means to you, then I translate it.

Fine Line Tattoos

Delicate, precise single-needle work. Portraits, illustrative pieces, clean linework. Where detail and restraint matter equally.

The Studio

Beyond
Skin

The same hand that holds the machine holds the brush. I paint original watercolors, draw in charcoal and ink, and throw one-of-a-kind ceramics — and you don't have to be in Ohio (or ready for a tattoo) to own a piece.

Original Paintings

Watercolor originals in the same voice as my tattoo work. One painting, one owner — when it's gone, it's gone.

Charcoal & Ink

Loose, expressive drawings and studies. The raw side of the sketchbook, available as originals.

Ceramics

Hand-thrown, hand-painted pottery. Small batches that tend to disappear fast — collectors hear first.

Prints & Flash

Prints of favorite pieces and available flash sheets. The most affordable way to start collecting.

How It Works

From Concept
to Skin

Your Inquiry

Tell me your concept — the subject, the feeling, where you want it, how big. The more you share, the more I can shape to you.

↓ Done through this site or Lacey's concierge

I Review & Quote

I read your inquiry and respond with a quote based on size, complexity, and placement. Usually within 48 hours.

↓ No pre-booking sketches

Deposit Locks the Design

Your $100 deposit reserves my time to design the piece we agreed on, and it comes off your final price. Once I've drawn it, that's your design — big changes after mean a new quote, since size, placement, and skin all change the work.

↓ Come with your full idea — it saves us both

Appointment Day

We review the design together before anything touches skin. Small tweaks are always welcome — I just can't rescope a whole new piece on the day without re-quoting.

↓ Private studio, no walk-ins

Book an Appointment

Let's Make
Something Yours

I take limited appointments to make sure every client gets the time and attention the work deserves. I'm booked through the session — not rushing between tables.

If you know what you want and you're ready to commit, fill out the inquiry form. If you're still figuring it out, let my concierge help you get there — it'll ask the right questions and put together a proper brief before your name ever hits my inbox.

◆ $100 deposit reserves design time for the piece we agree on, and comes off your final price. Widening the scope later means a fresh quote — so bring your whole vision up front.
◆ All work is custom. I don't copy existing tattoos or pull from templates.
◆ No pre-booking sketches. Design is part of your session — that's what your time is for.
◆ $250/hr or project-quoted. Minimum one hour.
◆ Cancellations need 48+ hours notice or deposit is forfeited.
