In 2010 Michael Hall and Jacqueline Beach opened Black Iris Studio in Escanaba, MI, as a way to provide high quality and affordable photography and body art to their community.

I am surrounded both by natural beauty and interesting people. I use my camera to document the world and then print images with a focus on the magic I find in daily life. My pictures tell my stories.

I want to provide safe, high-quality tattoos to the people of the community where I grew up.  After 20 years in the tattoo industry I can provide a fun and professional experience for anyone who wants body art.
