Cassandra Sloan

Hello! My name is Cassandra, some call me Cass, some call me Bug (I like Bugs).

I use she/her pronouns. I was born in a little town called Kelso, Washington and have been a resident of the Eugene area since 2010. 

As a kiddo I loved to paint dinosaurs and fruit and was quite enamored by Amy Brown’s illustrative work. As life continued my appreciation of art and self expression continued to flourish and I absolutely fell in love with Body Modification (big thanks to tumblr).

My art career officially started when I was given the opportunity to illustrate a children’s book and after working in a professional piercing studio for three years, I gained the confidence to pursue tattooing. 

I specialize in illustrative black and grey full of stipple shading and black work. Though I also thoroughly enjoy american traditional, woodcut, and ignorant styles. I find a lot of inspiration for my work through vintage illustration, antique trinkets, medieval/fantasy themes, the wonders of the world like fungi and snails, and really anything else that creates a little happy spark in my brain. Which is sometimes too many things. 

Outside of tattooing, I enjoy kickin’ it with my cat (Nacho), miniature papercrafts, making linocuts, playing cozy games and DnD with my friends, mushroom sighting, and looking at anything that’s green.
