The space

A gallery you can sit in.

A narrow brick storefront on SE Hawthorne, hung salon-style with framed flash and original paintings, lit by copper pendant lamps. Built so an intimate, permanent thing feels calm and considered.

The Copper Iris interior — brick walls hung with framed flash and art, copper pendant lamps, a leather barber chair, and a lit COPPER IRIS sign
Hung, not cluttered

The work on the walls is the point.

Framed flash, original paintings, a teal velvet couch, and a little greenery — the room is arranged the way a good small gallery is, with room to breathe and nothing shouting. It sets the tone before a needle is ever loaded.


Appointments are private and unhurried. Walk in any time to browse flash or talk an idea through.

Mixed to your skin

Color, blended by hand for you.

Marisol mixes botanical color from base pigments for each client — tuning it to read true against your own skin tone rather than pouring a stock ink from a bottle. It is slow, and it is the reason the work still looks like itself years later.
