When Hannah Everhart got her first tattoo, in College Park, she recalled “feeling
really intimidated.”
At Raven and Rose Studios, the tattoo shop she opened in 2021, Everhart’s aim
is to create a different environment for her customers, many of whom she said are
women or part of the LGBTQ+ community.
“We want to make this space feel as safe and comfortable for our clients as possible,”
Everhart, 32, said. “Getting tattoos is a very vulnerable thing.”
The studio boasts four tattoo artists, including Everhart and her sibling Ray Everhart, plus an apprentice, with specialties ranging from pop culture and horror designs
to hand-poked tattoos.
Everhart, who started tattooing in 2013 and had also worked as a maître d’, a 911
dispatcher and a model, finds satisfaction pulling off technical, fine-line tattoos —
especially those involving florals.
“I could tattoo flowers all day long,” she said. “Even my worst day tattooing is a
thousand times better than my best day at any one of those other jobs.”
