Lifecyclz
Black Work, Tattoo Artist, Illustrative
Jess Oppert, known online as lifecyclz, is a black and grey illustrative tattoo artist based in Providence, Rhode Island. She began her tattooing journey in 2020, diving into the craft just as studios reopened in the wake of the pandemic. Jess’s work emphasizes compositional flow, using varied line weights and atmospheric details to create a sense of movement and weightlessness. Before tattooing, she focused on creating moody, highly detailed, and psychedelic artwork- an influence that still subtly informs her current style. Inspired by the boldness, readability, and longevity of neo-traditional tattooing, Jess strives to blend the best of both worlds in her designs, creating pieces her clients can wear proudly for years to come.
