Vault 51

Destiny (Shimmer) is a Maryland-based tattoo artist specializing in fine line, illustrative, and illustrative color tattooing.

Her style blends soft gothic influences with clean linework, decorative elements, and emotionally driven subject matter to create tattoos that feel timeless, intentional, and personal. Her color work is approached with controlled, thoughtful palettes and balanced contrast, allowing color to enhance the artwork without overpowering it. Whether working in black and gray or color, her goal is to create meaningful, custom designs that flow naturally with the body and age beautifully over time.

Her favorite subject matters includes feminine faces, cute and cuddly critters, and jewelry-inspired elements, as well as darker themes such as horror icons and gritty imagery.

Outside the studio, Destiny is a mom, a wife, professional couch-rotter, energy drink enthusiast, and frequent victim of conspiracy theory rabbit holes.

Come for the tattoo, stay for the dark humor, great conversation, and terrible life advice. 🩷✨
