Meet Reagan Jeter

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Reagan Jeter. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Hi Reagan, you’ve got such an interesting story, but before we jump into that, let’s first talk about a topic near and dear to us – generosity. We think success, happiness and wellbeing depends on authentic generosity and empathy and so we’d love to hear about how you become such a generous person – where do you think your generosity comes from?

My generosity comes from a few places, but a big part of it began long before Pink House Tattoo ever existed. Before tattooing, I spent five years as a middle school art teacher, and that experience permanently shaped how I see the world. Being an art teacher meant my classroom was a safe space, and my students trusted me with parts of their lives they didn’t always share elsewhere. I saw firsthand how much quiet need exists—kids struggling in ways that had nothing to do with school supplies or grades. That exposure opened my eyes and my heart, and it’s something I’ve carried with me into every chapter since.

I also grew up in a home where generosity was modeled, not announced. It was just how things were done. One of my favorite stories is from high school when my mom thought my twin sister and I were lying about where we were—convinced we were out partying—only to find out we were shopping for an Angel Tree. That spirit of giving was instilled early, and it stuck. As a business owner, that’s translated into tangible action. Just this year, Pink House Tattoo has raised over $8,000 for causes including the National Suicide Foundation, Texas Search and Rescue, and GoFundMe efforts supporting families impacted by Texas flooding, just to name a few.

I truly believe that owning a business comes with a responsibility to give back to the community that sustains it. Without my clients, Pink House Tattoo wouldn’t exist. Giving isn’t about recognition; it’s about humility and gratitude. I know there’s still so much more I could do, even as a small business, and that motivates me to keep finding ways to help. I also hope it encourages other businesses—especially larger ones—to do their part. When we show up for our communities, everyone is better for it.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

I’m a fine line tattoo artist based in Dallas, and I specialize in creating tattoos for the girlies. From the beginning, it was really important to me to build something that felt different from the traditional tattoo experience. Pink House Tattoo was created as a safe, welcoming space for women… because let’s be honest, a lot of tattoo studios can feel intimidating or unapproachable. I wanted a place where clients could walk in, take a breath, and immediately feel comfortable, seen, and taken care of.

What feels most special about what I do is that the experience matters just as much as the tattoo itself. Of course, I care deeply about the quality and intentionality of the art, but I’m just as focused on the energy in the room, the way clients feel during their appointment, and how they leave feeling afterward. I hear all the time that Pink House Tattoo is the best tattoo experience someone’s had—not just because of the fine line work, but because of the warmth, ease, and attention woven into every detail. It’s about creating something beautiful while also creating an environment where people feel safe, celebrated, and confident in their choice.

At its core, my brand is about softness, care, and empowerment—without sacrificing professionalism or quality. Whether someone is getting their very first tattoo or adding to a growing collection, I want them to feel like they’re in a space made just for them. Pink House Tattoo isn’t just where you come to get tattooed—it’s where you come to feel good doing it.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Looking back, three things have made the biggest difference in my journey. First is staying authentic to myself. Instead of chasing trends or trying to fit into what I thought I should be doing, I leaned into what felt true to me—and that authenticity naturally drew the right people in. Second, social media. Truly, I sold my soul to Instagram early on, but it worked. Learning how to show up consistently, share my work, and connect online was a game-changer for building my clientele and brand. And lastly, artistic skill. Tattooing is literally drawing on people—if you can’t draw it on paper, you shouldn’t be drawing it on skin. My art degree from TCU gave me a strong foundation, and I’m proud to have turned my love for art into a career.

My advice for anyone early in their journey is this: don’t rush the fundamentals. Stay true to your voice, even when it feels slower. Invest time in learning how to market yourself—especially online—and don’t underestimate how powerful that can be. And above all, hone your craft. Take classes, practice constantly, and respect the art. When authenticity, skill, and consistency meet, the rest tends to follow.

Okay, so before we go, is there anyone you’d like to shoutout for the role they’ve played in helping you develop the essential skills or overcome challenges along the way?

Without question, my husband has been the most instrumental person in my journey. I approached him on a whim about taking a fine line tattoo course while I was a stay-at-home mom who desperately needed a creative outlet, and he immediately believed in me. He supported me financially in the beginning, but just as importantly, he supported me emotionally—encouraging me when things felt scary or uncertain. He’s made sacrifices so I could pursue this dream, and having someone in my corner who truly believed in my vision made all the difference.
