about us
Poison Ivy Ink all begun in August of 2021, our CEO Emaline Taylor had just gotten out of an unsafe apprenticeship and was left wondering what to do, and where to go. After not being able to find a shop with the energy she was looking for she found a private studio and made the decision to start a brand, and create the shop she had been looking for. Just a few months alter she signed her lease for her first store front location and by February of 2022 Poison Ivy Ink Tampa had officially been born.
Almost as soon as the shop opened the community showed out in support and just 7 months later in September of 2022 Emaline was able to open a Saint Petersburg location. In the first month of opening she hired a sweet gal named Brielle Mourant as a tattoo artist, and as of July 2024 that sweet girl is the first franchise owner and owns her very own Poison Ivy Ink location.
​
Poison Ivy Ink has truly taken the Florida tattoo industry by storm and has become a hot spot for women and the LGBTQ+ community looking for new ink and piercings. With an amazing staff across the three locations its no wonder people love Poison Ivy Ink so much. Each artist and piercer varys in different styles, specialties, and personalities and every client gets an authentic genuine experience. You can truly tell by the energy that the mission of this shop is to not only provide quality services but also make the experience enjoyable and comfortable.

Client Reviews
‘Absolutely gorgeous work by people who go the extra mile to make sure you love your tattoo. I was given ample opportunity to ask questions and was given detailed answers, I felt completely at ease with the professionalism and care I received. Emaline was meticulous, attention to detail, brought my very specific idea to life—I am very pleased! 
 Amazing artist. This is the only place I ever want to get tattooed at ever again! Friendly staff and an extremely clean environment. Good vibes”
- Antonio Calos
"Julia did my first two tattoos back in January and I recently saw her zodiac constellation flash on her Instagram. Me and two of my friends went today to get them and our experience was awesome! Julia was really easy to get in touch with and responded pretty quickly to our messages, and was also able to fit in another person last minute. Everything was very clean and sterile, she changed everything in between each of us and made sure our placement and sizing was exactly what we wanted. The other artists in the shop were very friendly and made us feel welcome as well. I will definitely be coming back again in the future for my next tattoos!"
- Mandy Latimer
“I found this tattoo shop through instagram, and I’ve got to say that this was the best experience I could have as someone getting my first big tattoo. From the moment you step through the door, the vibe is positive, comforting, and upbeat from all staff! Emaline created a stellar tattoo for me that was beyond what I could imagine. Her talent and professionalism speak for itself and I will definitely be back!”
- Kristen
