The world of queer tattoo artists is pretty small; made smaller by the internet.
From starting to follow her on IG, I have always felt a kinship with Caitlin Cordell, as her statements -- political and social, in instagram stories and captions always felt resonant to me. And her tattoo art is captivating.
The thing I didn't know about Caitlin is how deeply she cares about the young people. Having worked in social work for almost her entire adult life up until very recently, she transitioned to tattooing a lot more while still keeping a lot of her energy tied up in a local alternative school. Speaking of local, Caitlin and her (very gay) partner live in Twisp, WA, which is a small rural town.
Together we decided that she is clearly one of the village witches and aunties to the young ones, and a niece to the elders. I was struck by how community oriented this beautiful human is. Many of us are, but Caitlin takes it to another level.
Our conversation was flowing, fun, snappy, full of laughter and beautiful imagery we conjured together. It's an honor to get to imagine a better world with a kindred spirit.
Listen in and then check out Caitlin's fine line black and grey plant and animal tattoos, which are delicate and gorgeous.
