Carrie Crutcher was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio. She started off with art as a kid, and her love continued on into her teens and twenties. With an associates in Interior Design from Antonelli College and a Bachelors in Art from The College of Mount St Joseph with a focus on ceramics and painting, Carrie loves to draw, paint with watercolor and acrylic and make pottery. She has been tattooing professionally since the end of 2007 and continues to grow her style and creativity. Her favorite is realism, color and black and grey. Carrie opened Hybrid Image in August 2008 with the help of some friends after working at Uptown Tattoo (now closed) for 6 months prior. When not tattooing she likes to spend time outside with her Rottweiler Chaos.
