The artist

About Audrey Madeline

I'm Audrey Madeline, a custom tattoo artist in Beaumont, Texas. Every piece I make is drawn for one person and never used again.

The work

I tattoo in a focused set of styles rather than trying to do everything: Neo-Traditional, Japanese and Irezumi, fine line, dotwork, black-and-grey, ornamental, and cover-ups. What ties them together is drawing. Most of my work is drawn custom for the person wearing it, and I also draw available designs you can pick from — but nothing is ever repeated. Once it's on your skin, it's yours alone, forever.

You can see that range in the gallery: a neo-traditional bear set against a low sun, a Japanese kitsune fox mask, a soft coral peony, a flaming sacred heart with a crying eye, a frog with monarch-butterfly wings. Different subjects, same approach — bold where it needs to hold up over time, delicate where the piece calls for it.

Honest about what works

Part of drawing custom is telling you the truth. If a design is too detailed for the space, if a color won't sit well on your skin, or if a cover-up isn't realistic over what's already there, you'll hear it from me at the consultation — not after. I'd rather talk you out of something than put work on you that won't age well. That's the whole point of a free consultation: we get it right on paper before any needle touches skin.

From No Luck Tattoos to Audrey Madeline

For years I worked under the name No Luck Tattoos. Same hands, same standards — I decided the work should carry my own name. Audrey Madeline Tattoo is a way of standing behind every piece personally. Nothing about how I tattoo changed with the rename, so if you followed me as No Luck, you're in the right place.

A private studio, by appointment

I work by appointment only, one client at a time, in a private suite inside Sola Salon Studios in Beaumont. I chose that over a busy street shop on purpose. When you're in my chair, the room is yours — no walk-in traffic, no one waiting over your shoulder, no rushing off to the next person. It's quieter, cleaner, and calmer, and it lets me give the whole session my full attention. For a lot of people, especially first-timers, that setting takes most of the nerves out of getting tattooed.

Consultations are always free. We'll talk through your idea, references, placement, and budget before anything is scheduled, and I draw the design for you ahead of your appointment so you see it before the day.

Clean and licensed

Tattooing is a health-regulated craft in Texas, and I treat it that way. I follow Texas Department of State Health Services standards: single-use needles opened in front of you and disposed of after, sterilized and single-use equipment, and a fresh, clean setup for every client.

Let's make something that's yours

Whether it's your first tattoo or the next piece in a collection you've been building for years, I want it to be something you're glad to wear for the rest of your life. If you have an idea — even a rough one — reach out and we'll start with a free consultation.
