My name is Rachel, I am 28 years old and I moved here in 2014 from Houston, Texas and now live in Massillon. Tattooing has been a dream of mine since I was 13 years old, and I finally made it my permanent job when I finished my apprenticeship in September of 2021. I cannot see myself doing anything else in life. I am so excited to start a new journey here at Black Amethyst with everyone. My favorite style to tattoo is American Traditional, I will gladly bring your bold and bright ideas to life! Don’t worry if American Trad isn’t your thing - I can do many other styles as well!

When I’m not tattooing, I’m hanging out with my animals. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats and 120+ (and counting!) tarantulas as pets. Yes, you heard that right; 120 tarantulas! The tarantulas are a huge part of my life, and it’s an amazing hobby to be part of. Besides tattoos, they’re a huge passion of mine and have changed my life for the better. Thank you to everyone who trusts me with their skin - it means the world. I can’t wait to put some cool art on you!
