Brittany Cosgrove is a Columbus-based tattoo artist, acrylic painter, teacher, and musician. Beginning her creative journey at an early age, Brittany’s passion for creating moved her to explore and excel in a wide array of 2D and 3D media, such as drawing, painting, ceramics, and sewing. Her love of music is also a major part of her life- she has performed in various jazz bands, wind ensembles, and pit orchestras for operas and musicals. She has a Master’s in Music Performance from Arizona State University and a Bachelor’s in Music Performance from Otterbein University.

Brittany has honed her skills in acrylic painting over the past decade, propelling her from an artistic hobbyist to professional artist. Her paintings often feature light reflections, animals, plants, musical instruments, and are celebrated for their vibrant colors and realistic detail. Inspired by motherhood and her love of nature and music, Brittany infuses her works with a sense of vitality and movement.

In 2025, Brittany started a serious pursuit of learning a new craft that has fascinated her for years - tattoo art. She completed an intensive tattoo mentorship with the instruction of multiple tattoo artists across the globe, and opened her own tattoo studio in Columbus. Brittany currently tattoos on a regular basis in a variety of tattoo styles including fineline, color, realism, illustrative, and American Traditional. Along with her current tattoo work, Brittany enjoys taking painting commissions, live painting for events, and teaching art classes.

“Introducing tattooing as a new medium of art for me has been such a terrifying, exciting, and fulfilling experience. I have always enjoyed creating collaborative art, and this tattooing has been such a fun way to collaborate with others to create meaningful art that my clients will wear on their skin for life. I love to see the way that tattoos can bring confidence and joy to my clients. I plan on continuing to learn and grow in this new medium as well as continue to study paintingand ways that I can merge these two art forms by creating more painterly-style tattoos.”
