What is ‘spooky mija’?
SPOOKY MIJA is a sacred space where art, ritual, and self-inquiry come together to create transformative experiences. At its heart is the practice of ceremonial tattooing—where ink becomes a talisman of personal power and a tangible reflection of the soul’s journey.
About the Artist
Founded by Emily Mae, SPOOKY MIJA is more than a portfolio—it is a sanctuary for those seeking deeper connection, clarity, and self-trust. Through intentional tattooing, astrology, tarot, and guided spiritual experiences, each offering is designed to help individuals integrate their shadows, honor their evolution, and step fully into their truth.
This is not about aesthetics alone, nor is it about surface-level spirituality. It is for those ready to embrace transformation, embody their power, and mark their journey with intention—both on their skin and in their spirit.
Emily Mae is the founder and creative force behind SPOOKY MIJA, a sanctuary for intentional tattooing and experiential shadow work. As an intentional tattoo artist, she views the body as a sacred canvas—where tattoos become a reflection of the soul’s evolution.
Her offerings extend beyond tattooing, weaving together astrology, tarot, sound, and guided self-inquiry to help seekers explore the deeper meaning behind their experiences. Rather than claiming the titles of healer or seer, Emily is a guide—holding space for transformation, shadow integration, and radical self-trust.
Her approach is deeply influenced by the ancestral wisdom and spiritual traditions of Brazil, India, and Ancient Kemet, which she honors and integrates into her practice. Above all, she is a lifelong student, devoted to deepening her own understanding and expressing it fully in this lifetime.
