Megan Wood

For Megan Wood, art was never a hobby. It was a calling.

Growing up with an instinctive pull toward creating and expressing herself visually, Megan pursued formal art training in her early twenties before channelling that passion into the craft that would define her career. In 2010, she picked up a tattoo machine and never looked back. Now, more than 15 years on, she runs Rose Noir Tattoo Studio in Dublin, California, an award-winning private studio that has earned the title of Best Tattoo Shop seven years running.

What makes Rose Noir different is the experience it's built around. Every session is a private, one-on-one appointment designed to merge artistry with comfort, where the focus is on creating something deeply personal rather than moving through volume. Megan has always owned her own studio, and that independence matters. It gives her the freedom to take the time each piece deserves, without compromise.

Her signature styles span color realism, black and gray realism, and an artistic painterly approach that sets her work apart from the crowd. Whether it's a vibrant panther wrapped in tropical foliage, a sweeping cosmic sleeve, or a floral piece with botanical detail, every tattoo is custom designed to fit the individual.

Raised with a connection to the healing arts, Megan brings care and positive energy to every client interaction, helping people feel comfortable and empowered throughout the process. Outside the studio, she draws creative fuel from nature, travel, hiking, gardening, and weightlifting. That grounded, sensory approach to life feeds directly into her artistry, keeping every piece rooted in clarity and heart.

Megan joined the TNC Pro Team because the values align. At Rose Noir, client comfort isn't an afterthought. From the moment someone books in, every detail of the experience is considered, including how they feel before the needle touches skin. TNC's numbing solutions have become part of the studio's standard, helping clients stay relaxed and present so Megan can focus on delivering her best work.

That's exactly the kind of artist the TNC Pro Team is built for.
