My name is Emily May Fong. I'm originally from Portland, Oregon and started my tattoo artist journey at 19.
Oregon law requires that all aspiring tattoo artists receive schooling and obtain a license to tattoo. I attended Forbidden School of Body Art where I was required to perform 300 hours of book work, including safety and sanitation education, before I was eligible to use a tattoo machine. I graduated in October of 2015 and continued to work at Forbidden for over two years as an instructor in training.
In 2017, I moved to Chicago where my career really took off. I have worked at two studios since then, and now own my own tattoo studio in Chicago’s West Loop, Evergreen Studios.
