About the Artist
Casey “Rev” Cassel is a tattoo artist based in Philadelphia, PA, where they have spent most of their life cultivating a deep sense of community. Operating under the moniker "Reverie," Casey's work reflects both personal and collective stories, captured through a unique and mindful approach to tattooing.
A lifelong artist, Casey has always found joy in creating with their hands, transitioning from their early experiences as a violinist and music teacher to the world of tattooing in December of 2021. The decision to pursue tattooing was rooted in a desire for personal growth and the pursuit of happiness, allowing Casey to fully embrace their artistic expression.
Specializing in machine-free, hand-poked tattoos, each piece is a testament to patience and intention. The process is slow and deliberate, with every dot of pigment placed thoughtfully under the skin. The result is a soft, textured, and organic appearance that deepens and softens over time.
Casey’s work is folk-inspired, illustrative, and ornamental, often reflecting themes of simplicity, childlike wonder, and a deep sense of nostalgia.
