Allison Goodnight (They/she) is a tattooist and watercolor painter.
Allison has been tattooing since 2014 and presently is working at Tyger Wolf in Tacoma.
They opened and ran two shops previously, one in Montana and one in New Zeland. She has a strong passion for the tattoong and creating safe spaces to celebrate the tattoo journey.
She has had several exhibits over the past 16 years in Montana, Oregon, California, and New Zealand. Goodnight is predominately self taught, with a semester in collage occupied by photography.
Before pursuing tattooing goodnight spent years focusing on sculpture with found objects and textile, playing music in a noise band, performance in a variety show, and constructing fashion with recycled goods.
Goodnight grew up in a family owned camera shop and dedicated time studying and growing a relationship with her Pentax k 1000 and the world around her. Allison lovingly lost hours in the dark room and combined sewing onto her photos.
Her inspirations are nature, people, processing emotion, transformation and cycles. She's also drawn to travel, textures, sounds, science and fascinated with woo and spiritual imagery.  She finds art a way of relating to people and hopes to encourage empathy for oneself and others.
