Carlee Emerson

Born and raised on the West Coast, Carlee has spent the majority of her life in Portland and considers it her home. She graduated from Oregon State in 2018 with a business degree. Since then, she has been working towards her goal of becoming a working artist, with experience in illustration, digital, graphic and product design.

She started her tattoo journey in 2023, apprenticing under Alice Kendall and working as shop person for the kind folks at Infinity Tattoo. In October 2024, she joined the Wonderland team full time.

Carlee is inspired by folk art of all kinds, soft pencil drawings, vintage etching/wood block illustrations, and traditional tattoo imagery with a feminine or kooky twist. She wants to take on a variety of projects to gain as much experience possible as an apprentice.
