Jamie Heim

Visual Artist

Hi, I’m Jamie

I’ve been tattooing since I was 16, self-taught from home. This is now over 10 years ago. I spent the first years handpoking until I graduated high school and started working at a tattoo studio with a mentor full-time. I’m lucky to have had kind people help me on this journey to become a tattoo artist.

I went to art school to further my skills in fine art, which inspired me to try many mediums. I still can’t decide on a favorite medium & don’t plan on changing that.

In 2021, I discovered suminagashi, a japanese marbling technique where ink floats on water. This gave me inspiration to start freehand tattooing, so that the flows can be perfectly aligned with the body’s contours. This has taught me so much and I continue to learn new things with every tattoo.

I’ve graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences in Illustraion BA 2025.
