ABOUT ME
The story of my tattoo art
If you’re new here, my name is Maryssa Anne and I am a tattoo and fine artist originally from Clayton, North Carolina.
Growing up I knew of two things that I wanted for my future; to be an artist… and to travel the world. I remember collecting little trinkets about France, Italy, and other European countries; daydreaming for the day to come where I would get on a plane and be next to the art I’ve only seen in textbooks. Little did I know… I would be able to do both all because of the career I chose at 18 years old.
I became a tattoo apprentice after walking into a tattoo studio and fell in LOVE with the atmosphere, especially the idea of possibility within skin art. After apprenticing for two years, I became a full time artist and officially started my journey of not only my career, but also finally becoming a professional in the field I cherished most.
The tattoo industry is responsible for so many amazing opportunities in my life, and for that I will forever be grateful and love it. I met my husband in the tattoo shop, traveled to 40 different countries (so far),and met like minded people because of this career. I have a passion for my job because it isn’t work to me… it’s a lifestyle, and I hope you can see that through my work.
My husband and I opened Odyssey Art Collective in Cary, NC in 2025 and we are proud to say we host some of the most talented artists in the world at our studio!
Tattooing has changed my life, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to change yours.
