Erika
mom + WIFE, OUTDOOR ENTHUSIAST, fort smith, arkansas tattoo artist
Hi, I'm Erika, the founder of Inked by Erika!
I specialize in fine line, feminine style tattoos! I love a pop of stipple shading, or just a crisp line piece! I also love pushing myself with new fun pieces within the fine line style.
Making you feel safe, welcome, and heard in my shop is my number one priority!
When I'm not in the tattoo shop, you can find me being majorly outnumbered by our 4 boys Kylan, Rankin, Tripp, Kaden, and our Frenchie named nugget, or, you can find me fishing with my husband, Dustin, in any body of water from the ocean, to the local lakes!
My family and I love creating core memories, quality time, and doing anything outdoors!

I had the BEST experience with Erika doing my spine and ring finger tattoos! From the moment I walked in, she made me feel completely at ease — personable, professional, and so easy to talk to. Her space was clean, calm, and relaxing, exactly what you want when getting tattooed. She did a phenomenal job on both pieces and made the whole experience fun and unforgettable. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, caring artist!

I took my mom to Inked by Erika for her eyebrows as a Christmas gift — and wow, what an experience! It was my mom's first time getting any beauty service done, so she was anxious, but Erika was patient, kind, and reassuring every step of the way. She made sure my mom was comfortable with every detail, and the work was absolutely beautiful. Her customer service goes above and beyond. So Impressed. So grateful. So happy we trusted her! Definitely coming back!

Absolutely love Erika! I just recently got my first tattoo by her and i’m in love! I was scared of getting it and it not looking how i imagined it, but it looks 10x better than i could’ve ever imagined. This being my first tattoo she helped me through every step and made sure i was comfortable throughout the whole session. Couldn’t have asked for a better first tattoo or experience!

Got a tattoo off Erika’s flash sheet sale. The first time getting a tattoo by her and I’ll 100% get another one from her. She was great about checking the sizing I wanted, placement, making sure it was going to look good no matter how I moved my leg, and great conversation. LOVE my new tattoo
