IMPORTANT UPDATE!

We will be moving to 2300 1st Ave in Belltown this September!

Things might look a little bit different as we transition, but we will still have the same amazing artists and an even larger gallery space.

We will be participating in Belltown art walk - second Fridays - starting in October 2026.

CREATIVE SPACE

A spacious art studio with exposed brick walls and large windows letting in natural light. The room contains several colorful abstract paintings on the walls, a wooden cabinet, chairs, and some plants. Studio equipment like stands and lighting are also visible.

Arcana is a woman owned, multi-use creative space designed by tattoo artist and painter Emma Larkin.

Founded in 2023 under the name Elevation Project as a private tattoo studio, art gallery, and event space, Arcana is the next evolution of that vision. We aim to uplift Seattle's artist community by providing a welcoming environment, supporting independent artist projects, and hosting education, exhibition, and gathering events.

Come visit us during business hours, attend one of our community based workshops, or stop by during Belltown Art Walk every second Friday!

TATTOO WORK

We specialize in avant-garde, abstract, collage and fine-art inspired tattoos, providing an inclusive space where art and self-expression converge.

Our talented artists work closely with their clients to craft personalized tattoos that reflect their unique stories and artistic sensibilities.

Before founding Arcana, Emma began tattooing in 2013 after earning her bachelor’s degree in studio art with a minor in philosophy. Over the last decade she has honed her skills and developed a unique style that blends abstract art, realistic representation, and watercolor elements in a distinctive collage style.
