About
Meet The Artists
A powerful duo, these artists have worked side by side for years to bring you a fun, cozy, and memorable experience in their private tattoo studio. Pouring their hearts into their work, learn a little about them below!
The Full Story
The Tempest was founded right in the heart of Ellsworth, Maine by local artists Jaille Hayes and Hailey Rudy who recently moved after 2 years from their smaller studio to a larger more personalized space. Our goal is to give you a relaxed tattooing experience where you can feel right at home in a safe clean environment. When you leave, you get to take a beautiful tattoo and hopefully some fun memories along with you!
