July 23, 2025/in Animals, AwenInk, Black and Gray, Black Ink Tattoo, Celtic, Natural World, Norse Tattoo, Northern Minnesota, Scheduling Information, Viking Art/by Beth Backen

Hello Potential Client!

Thank you for your interest in my work! I know you may have a quick question, or are wondering about pricing and availability –  I’ll be able to provide you more accurate and complete information when you fill in the form below. I understand it takes time to complete this form, and it requires time to answer your questions and create your tattoo, so it is worth the effort for all of us.

Please note that I am based in Ely, Minnesota – within Superior National Forest.

I select pieces based on 3 factors that energize Creativity:
  • Concepts that compliment my artistic style
  • Ideas that peak my creative interest
  • The positive energy of the client with an openness to the Creative Process.

I only tattoo my own artwork and creations. I welcome inspiration and ideas, without copying the works of others.

I handle communication personally; due to the number of inquiries received, I’m unable to respond to all requests. If you don’t hear back from me it may be that while your piece indeed peaks my creative interest, devoting the time needed for each tattoo limits the number of new pieces I’m able to commit to each year. Submitting an inquiry does not guarantee a booking or hold a place on a wait list; if you don’t hear back from me please continue your search for the right artist for you. Inquiries are kept on file and I reach out to book new pieces as I complete current pieces in progress.

I work primarily from my private home studio in Ely, MN – a beautiful and easy four hour drive north of the Twin Cities in Superior National Forest. The view from the tattoo chair includes pine, birch and aspen forest, the call of ravens, visiting hummingbirds, snowshoe hare, deer, grouse and occasional fox, bear and other wildlife that cohabitate with us on this land we steward. The timeframe for an appointment with me in Ely is generally 3-6 months. Again, thank you for your interest in my work. Submit a booking inquiry and Read our FAQ’s for more information

Awen’s signature styles include (and are not limited to…!) Norse, Celtic and Viking art – and Sacred Geometry. (Which leads into Nature and the Natural World, the Northwoods, Animals… but that’s for another post!)
