Brianne Tweddle - Cosmetic Tattooer
Cosmetic tattooer extraordinaire, Brianne specializes in brows and freckles. She has been with the studio since 2015 and now works out of a private service room to ensure the most comfortable experience for you!
Michelle Livingston - Owner
Michelle opened the original studio in 2012 and it evolved into the Arcane it is today starting in 2017. A lifetime of loving body modification in all its forms (but especially as a vehicle for bodily autonomy) has allowed Arcane to blossom as a true labour of love.
Being owned/operated by a full-time wheelchair user means that it has always been a core value of the studio to be accessible and welcoming, to all people. And we strive to make the industry more accessible as a whole.
Canary, a certified PADS assistance dog, joined us in May 2023 as Michelle’s helping hand.
