Meet Amanda, the artist and owner behind The Painted Lady, a tattoo studio in Sioux Falls rooted in creativity, connection, and community. With over a decade of experience, Amanda has built a reputation for creating thoughtful, high quality tattoos that feel deeply personal. Specializing in black and gray, American traditional, neotraditional, fine line, and illustrative work, she approaches each piece with intention, care, and a strong focus on longevity. Amanda’s goal is simple. To create an environment where people feel comfortable, respected, and fully themselves. Every tattoo is a collaboration, designed to reflect her clients’ stories in a way that feels authentic and lasting. Beyond her artistry, Amanda is a dedicated community advocate and the founder of House of Marsha. Her work is centered around building spaces that prioritize connection, accessibility, and genuine care for others. At The Painted Lady, that philosophy carries through everything she does. It is more than a tattoo studio. It is a space where people are welcomed without judgment, where creativity thrives, and where meaningful experiences are created every day.
Meet Tiana Weiner, an apprentice at The Painted Lady bringing a creative and thoughtful energy into everything she does. Tiana has been drawing and creating for as long as she can remember, and that lifelong passion shows in her work. She’s especially drawn to anime, pop art, and kawaii-inspired designs, with a style that feels playful, expressive, and full of personality. She is currently focused on building strong fundamentals and practicing on fake skin, taking her time to develop clean technique and confidence before working on clients. Her approach is steady and intentional, with a real commitment to doing things the right way. Tiana has a naturally calm, low pressure presence, making her a great fit for anyone who prefers a more relaxed and easygoing experience. As she continues to grow, she’s focused on refining her style and creating work that feels fun, meaningful, and true to her.
Meet Jess Meuzelaar, the voice behind the scenes at The Painted Lady and the one helping bring its energy to life online. Jess works closely with Amanda to shape how the shop shows up, making sure everything you see actually reflects what it feels like to be in the space. Not overly polished, not forced, just real, intentional, and true to the people behind it. With a strong background in community work and leadership, Jess understands how to connect with people in a way that actually matters. She’s not just posting content. She’s helping tell the story, build relationships, and create something people feel a part of. Her approach is thoughtful and intuitive, paying attention to tone, timing, and the message behind what’s being shared. She knows when to inform, when to lean into emotion, and when to let things speak for themselves. At The Painted Lady, Jess helps make sure the connection doesn’t stop at the door. It carries through everything you see, read, and engage with.
