Now and Forever tattoo is a collective of artists and space curated by artist Kristel Oreto. Kristel has been tattooing since 2000,  Proud Mother of a Queer and Trans son, and as a woman in a male based industry she knew she wanted to create a different type of space for artists and clients.  With the Goal of opening a safe space for all to get tattooed and Women, Non-Binary and Trans Tattooers to work and evolve. The space is filled with art, oddities and antiques from Local Philly artists, oddity shops and antique stores. Wanting clients to feel as comfortable as possible at their session, the studio provides access to a full kitchen to both clients and staff stocked with snacks and so much stuff to look at on the walls you actually want to put your phone down and admire the art.  

Casey met Kristel through professional connections in the summer of 2022. After a guest spot at Now & Forever, Casey quickly fell in love with the space and the community curated there, and was fortunate to be brought on as part of the team. Since then, the space has provided a supportive environment for Casey to grow alongside other amazing artists and cultivate meaningful relationships with clientele.
