The Emerald Team
Jamie Fifer
Creative Director & Tattooist
I started my tattoo apprenticeship in 2015 and opened Emerald Artistry Studio in March of 2018. It was a dream come true for me! I’ve been happy to find that our society values the expression of art through many mediums, including tattoos, possibly more than ever. I had some extra time during 2020 to reconsider how I spent my time, and I reorganized my schedule in a way to support prioritizing my family, self-care, and ensuring I was living my life according to my values.
I love my job, and I am thankful God gave me the opportunity to use art to make a living!
LaRae Fifer
Tattoo Apprentice & Studio Artist
I am a lifelong learner and a lifelong artist. Since beginning my apprenticeship in 2025, I have only grown more certain in following in my mother's footsteps as a tattoo artist. I am incredibly thankful for the gifts God has given me, and I intend to use them. I typically fill my time with reading, writing, drawing, painting, tattooing, crocheting, and music. The next step for me is venturing outside more to reconnect with the natural world that I find so inspiring!
