Medusa, né Gina Carlson, is an artist first but certainly a comedian second. She’s a PNW native who has a creative mind, a gigantic heart, and enough dirty jokes to make your mother blush. Her tattoos are meticulously drawn, with an eye for detail that is truly unmatched.
While her art career spans many mediums and years, she loves tattooing the most. Her journey into tattooing with a rough start in 2008 but didn't really kick off until she became licensed in Oregon at the beginning of 2020 after apprenticing for a few years off and on in both Washington and Oregon. She currently works out of The Black Hexagon (formerly Sideshow Alley Tattoo Odditorium) in Portland, OR. Her primary interests are illustrative tattoos depicting scenes of witchcraft, mythology, fantasy, nature, and the occult.
When she isn’t tattooing or burying herself in art projects, she spends her spare time enjoying music, spending time in the art studio, formulating skincare, flipping off cops, and hanging out with her rescue dog, Jonesy.
