Today Chris Baker interviews Julia Hayes, founder of Moonrise Tattoo Collective in Brooklyn, NYC, and now Little Moon Tattoo here in Kingston NY.

Julia says "My work is influenced by scientific illustration, printmaking, folk art, and the natural environment of my childhood - a rural, coastal area of Northern California. I moved to NYC in 2010, and spent 14 years there, but I still feel most at home amongst the dirt and the sea, and my work is a reflection of my roots. I specialize in illustrative blackwork, primarily natural themes - plants, animals, humans, science and magic."
