Artists
At Studio Cazimi, tattooing is more than an art form—it’s a ritual. Every piece begins with intention and evolves through collaboration, craftsmanship, and care. Our studio’s work is defined by precision, symbolism, and the quiet magic that lives in fine-line detail.

Harper Zimmer
Harper Zimmer, the founder and resident artist of Studio Cazimi. They are known for their refined approach to fine-line tattooing—a balance of realism, restraint, and imagination. Drawing inspiration from literature, myth, and the fantastical, Harper’s work transforms narrative into form, celebrating both elegance and depth.
Their process is meticulous and deeply intentional, guided by the belief that tattooing is a sacred act of creation. In their favorite quote, light enters through the wound—a philosophy that honors the beauty, vulnerability, and transformation inherent in every piece.
