Tara is a full time custom artist currently tattooing out of Pleasure in Pain Custom Tattoo located in Taunton, Massachusetts. Tara's love for the arts began at a young age, and she had a knack for anything creative. She stuck to the art thing, and pursued it throughout high school. After completing high school, Tara went on to attend college at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Illustration. Going through the illustration program at U-Mass provided her with a wealth of knowledge on many different art forms, and how to apply them. 

In her junior year of college, Tara began a tattoo apprenticeship under the tutelage of Jeff Burt, owner of Pleasure in Pain. She was an apprentice of Jeff's for a little over a year, before he had decided she was ready to begin her voyage as a tattoo artist. Tara has been a licensed tattooist since August of 2014. Tara will tackle any challenge thrown her way in the form tattoos. She tends to have the most fun tattooing imagery that is very illustrative, feminine, neotraditional, and playful.

Work does not end when the shop closes. Tara also takes requests for custom illustrations from clients. She can work with almost any medium, but enjoys working with marker, guache, acrylic, digital, and colored pencil most.

In her free time, Tara enjoys spending time with her family, catching some vitamin D, crocheting, and being a crazy plant lady.
