RHODE ISLAND ROOTS, WORLD WIDE EXPERIENCE

Jen Beirola returned home to Aquidneck Island to open Rocky Shores with more than two decades of tattoo experience under her belt. Her experiences range from an apprenticeship at a fine line street shop in Omaha to owning her own studio and traveling the globe working tattoo conventions. She brings with her style earned the long way: bold American traditional, fine line, black & grey, and cover-ups that fix what other shops wouldn’t touch.

With more than 25 years of tattooing experience, Jen has developed a broad skill set spanning multiple styles and approaches. Rather than limiting her work to a single specialty, she draws from a wide range of influences and techniques to create tattoos that best suit each client’s idea, anatomy, and goals.

Whether it’s a simple walk-in design, a meaningful memorial piece, a cover-up, or a large custom project, her focus remains the same: creating strong, lasting tattoos that fit the person wearing them.
