“Haven is such an incredible story weaver and alchemist. Of all the tattoos I’ve gotten, this experience has been by far my absolute favorite and truly wish more tattoo experiences were like this.

I felt so grounded and held through the process from the storywork to the tattoo session itself, and haven embodied/brought forth a relationality that really reinforced the loving intentions, the trust, the soft intimacy of sacred ritual, connection (to plant kin, to lineage, self, the collective). They created a space where I felt welcomed in my wholeness/fullness, the entirety of my bodymindspirit, and that was so appreciated/special as a brown disabled neurodivergent queer femme.

The spirit of love was with us through it all. I am still in awe of how connected I felt to the piece we co created- how even now I continue to be moved in ways that feel more rooted to my power. It feels like such an accurate embodiment of my spirit–like its always been there. Truly so excited to co create again in the future ❤ deep, deep gratitude for your offerings”

“I really appreciated my time with Haven. I can tell they’re trauma informed and understand how being tattooed and tatu is an embodied practice. The ceremonial aspect of my session is something new to me, and I felt very grateful to partake in it. Overall, I was able to rest as much as I needed, and they took my allergies and my marginalizations in mind throughout our time together.

Each day I’m more excited about being tattooed with “radiating love.” The placement feels very intentional and I feel at peace within myself. I feel more sensual and at ease in my own skin. I’ve found myself reflecting upon this session, though it’s been a few weeks. I felt comfortable to be in my body for those few hours, and it meant a lot to explicitly prioritize COVID safety measures.”
