Yatti LeGree: Healing Through Ink in Atlanta

Jasmine "Yatti" LeGree has been tattooing since 2013, but for her, the work has never been just about the needle and the ink. It's about healing. As the founder of TattedByYatti, an Atlanta-based tattoo brand, she's built a practice around the idea that art can be a form of therapy—for the client and for herself. That connection between healing and creativity is at the root of how she got into the craft in the first place. Yatti has spoken openly about therapy, healing, and self-love as the forces that led her to tattooing, and those themes still shape how she approaches every session in her chair. She describes her inspiration simply as "healing and art expression," a phrase that doubles as both her personal philosophy and her professional mission. Technically, Yatti works across styles, from detailed black-and-grey pieces to bold color designs, custom-building each tattoo around the client's own vision rather than a fixed template. Her motto, "Healing Through Art," reflects that approach: a tattoo session, in her view, is a chance to create something meaningful, not just decorative—a piece someone can carry with them for life. Beyond the studio, Yatti is expanding into new lanes. She's currently developing a podcast and working on event bookings, including music bookings, while also stepping into basketball coaching. It's a varied set of pursuits, but they share a common thread with her tattoo work: bringing people together around creativity, community, and growth. If there's one thing Yatti wants people to take from what she does, it's a set of values she returns to often—ethic, courage, dignity, passion, love, and faith. For her, those aren't just words on a mood board; they're the standard she holds her art, and herself, to as TattedByYatti continues to grow in Atlanta.
