Ashlee Horsley\u2019s journey as an artist began at just 11 years old, sitting beside her grandmother, who was a painter, and watching Bob Ross work his magic on television. Those early moments, filled with doodles and paintbrushes, planted the seeds of creativity that would grow into her lifelong passion. Today, Ashlee is not only a skilled tattoo artist but also the proud co-owner of Inked Under Ground, where she pours her love for art and people into every piece she creates.<\/p>\n

A Lifelong Passion for Art<\/h2>\n

Art has always been at the center of Ashlee\u2019s life. What started as doodles in childhood grew into a calling that she\u2019s pursued with dedication. For the past six years<\/strong>, Ashlee has been tattooing, refining her craft and building her reputation as a versatile artist. Her favorite styles\u2014neo-traditional<\/strong> and color tattoos<\/strong>\u2014allow her to blend bold design with vibrant expression, giving her work a distinct personality that clients love.<\/p>\n

The Heart of Connection<\/h2>\n

For Ashlee, tattooing is about so much more than ink on skin. Her favorite part of being a co-owner of Inked Under Ground is meeting people in the community, learning the personal stories behind their tattoos, and witnessing the impact of her work. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s all about the connection,\u201d<\/em> she explains. Every tattoo becomes a shared experience, a bond between artist and client that lasts far beyond the time spent in the chair.<\/p>\n

The Challenges of the Craft<\/h2>\n

While tattooing is rewarding, Ashlee doesn\u2019t shy away from the reality that it can also be challenging. Not every client walks away easy to please, and sometimes she encounters people who can\u2019t be satisfied\u2014or who are simply rude. Those experiences have taught her patience, resilience, and the importance of focusing on the positive connections that outweigh the negative ones.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.inkedundergroundky.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/c32c2e8d-253b-46c2-accd-ce9e2f2e5fa2.jpg” alt=”inked under ground” title_text=”c32c2e8d-253b-46c2-accd-ce9e2f2e5fa2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Favorite Work<\/h2>\n

Out of the many tattoos she has created, two stand out as personal favorites: her Raggedy Ann doll tattoo<\/strong> and a set of neo-traditional flowers<\/strong>. Both pieces represent her love for color and design, and they hold a special place in her journey as an artist.<\/p>\n

Words of Wisdom<\/h2>\n

Ashlee\u2019s advice for other artists comes from her own experience of perseverance:
\u201cNever give up. Keep practicing. I\u2019ve had a hard time in my life and I almost gave up and threw everything away. But something in me told me not to give up, and to do what I love.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Her words serve as a reminder that passion and persistence can carry artists through even the toughest seasons.<\/p>\n

Life Beyond the Studio<\/h2>\n

When she\u2019s not tattooing, Ashlee enjoys the simple joys of life\u2014spending time with her kids<\/strong> and continuing to draw whenever she can. For her, art is not just a career but a way of life, woven into her daily routines both inside and outside the studio.<\/p>\n

Looking Forward<\/h2>\n

Ashlee\u2019s goals are straightforward yet powerful: to keep drawing, to keep improving, and to continue growing as a tattoo artist. With every piece she creates, she moves closer to mastering her craft while staying true to the passion that first sparked when she was 11 years old.<\/p>\n
