women-owned & operated

Marki Flowers and Katie Meadows are the two senior tattoo artists who started The Apothecary Tattoo, a women-owned studio specializing in non-electric tattoos. After being the top earners for another local studio where they earned ‘Best of Lufkin’ six years in a row, they are excited to be building their own team and continue working with clients who appreciate the art and craft of professional non-electric tattooing.

With a combined 15 years in the industry, our goal is for every person visiting us to feel seen, be treated fairly, and receive high-quality permanent body art.

Our team collaborates to create an atmosphere of trust and creativity. We are committed to making each client’s experience a comfortable, empowering, and educated one.

WE PROUDLY WELCOME YOU TO OUR NEW STUDIO LOCATED AT

4003 S. Medford Dr. Suite 400

studio artists

This trio has been laughing and collaborating together since 2021. As Apothecary’s resident artists, they cover a wide range of artistic styles and personality vibes.

There’s never a dull moment between these three and we firmly believe everyone deserves a dot from each, in our humble opinion.
