With a focus on large-scale tattoos, pet portraits, floral designs, and expert cover-ups, the studio offers a highly personalized and collaborative experience.
Why People from Maine Travel to Always & Forever Tattoo
Holly believes that every tattoo should reflect the client, tailoring each design to fit their body and vision. Unlike traditional walk-in studios, Always & Forever provides a private and judgment-free space where clients can feel comfortable and heard.
Whether transforming an old tattoo, memorializing a beloved pet, or creating a custom design, Holly is dedicated to bringing her clients’ ideas to life. Her studio is not just a place to get a tattoo—it’s a sanctuary where self-expression, healing, and creativity come together.
“Getting tattooed by Holly was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. She is super professional, organized, warm, and a gifted artist. She gathered all my many ideas for a tattoo of my best buddy, Moose, and turned them into an incredible fancy pet portrait that has exceeded all my expectations. I love my tattoo and feel that it was always meant to be there as if Holly unearthed a more beautiful layer of my skin that just couldn't be seen before.”
— Angela & Moose
“I am the type of person who LOVES to give my tattoo artist creative freedom to design and develop works of art that I am sure I will never see on anyone else and Holly is an absolute guru when it comes to taking many different ideas and concepts and turning it into a masterpiece.”
— Yessi D.
“Holly is more than a “tattoo artist”, she is an artist, and I am proud to be one of her clients. My experience with Always and Forever has been nothing short of incredible. For me, it all started with an idea and Holly brought it to life. Collaboratively with Holly, we have continued to write my story through her art.”
— Sean D.

Uncover the Most Personal and Impactful Tattoo Journey
When you're searching for the best tattoo artists in Maine, you're likely looking for more than just technical skill. You're looking for trust. Comfort. Artistry. And maybe even a little healing.
At Always and Forever Tattoo, you're not just getting a tattoo—you're stepping into a one-on-one, emotionally grounded experience with me, Holly Jane, a female tattoo artist who specializes in large-scale custom pieces. From vibrant floral sleeves to deeply personal pet portraits, everything happens in my private Maine studio, where it’s just you and me—no noise, no crowd, no pressure.
This isn’t your average Maine tattoo shop. This is tattoo therapy, art, and transformation—all in one deeply personal space.
Local Spotlight: The Maine Tattoo Scene, Reimagined
Maine’s tattoo scene is full of creative energy—from established shops in Portland to hidden gems throughout the state. But let’s be real: many tattoo studios can feel chaotic, rushed, or even intimidating—especially if it’s your first tattoo or you’re bringing in a design with deep emotional meaning.
That’s why I created Always and Forever Tattoo. It's a private space that’s quiet, calm, and designed entirely around you. When you step into my studio, it's just the two of us—working together to bring your story to life through ink.
No distractions. No curious onlookers. Just a safe, welcoming environment where you’re heard, supported, and seen.
Tattoo Styles That Speak Volumes
Tattoos can be visually stunning, but it’s the story behind the ink that truly matters. I specialize in custom work that reflects your personality, emotions, and life experiences.
Full Sleeves & Large-Scale Custom Pieces
These are my favorite kinds of work—big, bold designs that tell a unified story across your body. Whether it’s a nature-inspired sleeve, an intricate back piece, or a symbolic chest tattoo, I carefully plan and map out every detail with intention.
“Large pieces take time and trust. That’s why I work one-on-one. It’s intimate, personal—and incredibly powerful.”
Realistic Floral Tattoos
This is my signature style. I’m passionate about translating the delicate beauty and meaning of flowers into flowing, body-hugging designs. Each bloom—whether rose, peony, or wildflower—is hand-drawn with attention to every petal.
Pet Portrait Tattoos
This one hits close to home. Our pets are family. Whether you’re celebrating a current companion or honoring the memory of one you’ve lost, I’ll create a portrait that captures their essence—not just their image.
“It’s not just art. It’s grief, love, and memory all wrapped into something permanent.”
A Safe, Female-Led Tattoo Experience
I'm Holly Jane—a tattoo artist, an empath, and someone who believes that the process is just as important as the artwork.
I created my studio for people who need quiet, comfort, and emotional connection:
Private, appointment-only sessions—just you and me
A trauma-aware space for clients with anxiety or past experiences
Emotionally supported sessions where you can feel safe and seen
Flexible pacing—we go at the rhythm that feels right to you
Whether you’re here to celebrate, heal, or express your identity, I’m here to support your journey with care.
Why Privacy Matters in a Tattoo Studio
Let’s be honest—most tattoo shops aren’t designed with privacy in mind. But at my studio, things are done differently.
My space is entirely private. No walk-ins. No assistants. No overlapping appointments.
Why My Clients Love It:
You can share your story without fear of judgment
No one watching while you’re getting tattooed
Ideal for emotional tattoos, scar coverage, or first-time clients
Less sensory overwhelm—perfect for neurodivergent clients or those with anxiety
“The privacy lets people open up. It becomes a therapy session as much as an art session.”
-
While my studio is intimate, the reach is wide. Clients travel from all over the Maine area—and beyond—to work together.
I frequently welcome clients from:
I often welcome out-of-state visitors seeking a unique experience they can’t find in traditional tattoo shops, and I love working with clients from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, New York, and beyond.
