Bushbaby Tattoo

Who is Bushbaby?

Indra Rodies (she/they) • @bushbabytattoo

Bushbaby Tattoo is an inclusive safe space for everyone no matter your age or identity, where the body and spirit are seen, heard, and at ease. Bushbaby’s goal is to ensure sessions are grounding and sweet, so clients leave feeling taken care of and empowered in their skin. All bodies are beautiful, all are welcome.

Being an artist by blood means that for Indra, the universe has allowed them to communicate with the cosmos in a way they hope to translate in every facet of their artistic practice. Having trained as a stop-motion animator and illustrator, Indra’s work reflects a deep love for fantasy and the natural world, through attention to detail, movement, and imaginative storytelling.

Bushbaby Ethos

Safe Spaces First

As a tattoo artist, the most important first step is to create a sanctuary built around understanding your needs and desires, because when you thrive, so do we! Your comfort is priority and consent is KEY. You will always have a voice throughout the process, and the space to be heard if you change your mind about anything. 

After Care and Always

You will leave all sessions with everything you need to know on how to best heal your new tattoo! Instructions, balms (and other goodies) will always be provided, and check-ins made to follow up on the healing process post-appointment. If at any point you have any questions, I am here for you!

Inclusivity is Everything!

Our bodies are vessels that walk this complicated world, and deserve the utmost respect. All bodies, no matter their age, shape, size or color are welcome and cherished. NEVER hesitate to ask questions and know you are an extension of the divine universe and should be treated as such!
