Bre Hampton

cosmetic tattooist

I am all about making people feel comfortable and confident!

I have been a cosmetic tattoo artist for 2.5 years, after my public affairs position with the military ended. It was 2021, the job market was tough, and I couldn’t find anything in that field – I wasn’t sure I even wanted to stay in that field. I decided to tap into my artistic side and looked into cosmetic tattooing. A licensure class at the Permanent Makeup School of Virginia started the day after my last day with the military and I took that as a sign. I soon found out that I loved learning about anatomy, color theory, and how cosmetic procedures can have such a positive impact on someone’s self-confidence. I moved to NC in January 2022, a month after graduating, and have been tattooing ever since!

I joined Inkvictus Studios in January 2024. I was looking for a new studio to call home after not feeling a sense of true belonging or inclusivity for some time. I was immediately impressed with the business model, the practices and policies in place to protect both employees and clients, and how bold Natascha is about integrity. I finally felt like I found “my people.”

Outside of work, I’m a big reader – I love a good fantasy series or thriller. I enjoy gaming, traveling, and spending time with my partner, Ashley, and our three rescue cats: Benji, Clover, and Lucifer. Autumn is my favorite season. You will almost always find me in a pair of Doc Martens or Converse. I am an introvert, Sagittarius sun, & Enneagram type 5.

My favorite part of my job is making my clients feel confident in their skin. You will always be fully seen & heard in my chair!

I have lived in 7 different states, & two of them on two separate occasions (California and Rhode Island).


I have a degree in social sciences, with a focus in psychology and political science, & am currently studying anatomy & physiology. Needless to say, I’m always down to nerd out with my clients!

My favorite tattoo I have is a tie between a ghost wearing heart-shaped sunglasses, or “it’s a beautiful day to be alive” as a gentle reminder when life gets hard (shoutout Whitney Simmons).
