Apprenticeship Promotion
$50 Tattoos
From now through March 14th, 2026, I’ll be offering $50 tattoos as I continue to grow and refine my craft.
Right now, my focus is on linework-only pieces — clean, intentional designs that help me strengthen my foundation. As I progress through my apprenticeship, I’ll share updates when I begin taking on saturation and color work.
This promotion is about practice, connection, and growth — building trust with clients who value the learning process as much as the finished piece. If you have an idea you’d love to see come to life, send it my way! I review each design individually and will always be honest about what I can take on.
Thank you for supporting this chapter of my journey — your encouragement means more than words.

Get To Know Me
Hey, I’m Emily Duke — the artist behind Etcetera Studios and an apprentice under @tattoosbyhaylie (she’s out of state, but worth every flight).
I’m based in Tucson, Arizona, and my work lives somewhere between folklore and field guide — a blend of clean linework, black & grey tones, and storybook-style illustration. My goal is to create tattoos that feel like they’ve existed forever — small relics of your story, nature, and sentiment.
As my skills grow, I aim to take on more color-rich and saturated pieces, but for now, I’m focused on mastering the foundations — linework, flow, and form. Every tattoo I do helps me build the precision and confidence to bring those vibrant works to life in time.
When I’m not at the studio, I’m usually making art in some form (drawing, writing, baking, etc.), raising three wild and wonderful boys, or chasing inspiration through the ordinary magic of everyday life.
