Nest Art Collective

Nest was founded by Lora Bird in 2021 in an effort to create a positive, nurturing, trauma-informed community of tattoo artists and other local creators and artists. Lora moved to Seattle in 2025 to open Mama Bird and the shop is now run by our lovely captain, Kylie Patterson.

There are currently 13 full-time tattoo artists, a chiropractor, and several wonderful local creators selling art and wares in our retail space.
