Ink, Essence, and the Divine: Chloé Besson’s Path to Sacred Expression

Today’s episode features the inspiring journey of Chloé Besson, a self-taught fine line tattoo artist and founder of Made Tattoo in Denver, Colorado. Chloé shares how she transitioned from traditional art to tattooing—and eventually into teaching—guided by a deepening spiritual practice.

Emily and Chloé explore how her connection to the divine has shaped not only her artistry but her sense of purpose, leading her to create Ripple Effect Retreats, a space for somatic healing and spiritual growth. Chloé also opens up about her path to sobriety, the lessons learned through self-discovery, and how embracing authenticity has expanded her impact.

Guest

Chloé Besson is a Denver-based tattoo artist, founder of MADÉ Tattoo & Mercantile, and co-creator of The Ripple Effect Retreat—a space for deep healing through spirituality, somatics, subconscious reprogramming, sensuality, and sisterhood. With a background in fine art and a degree in printmaking and photography, Chloé brings a thoughtful, intentional approach to her fine-line tattoo work. She began tattooing in 2019 after teaching herself the craft, driven by a desire to bridge fine art with body art while prioritizing safety, inclusivity, and client care. Her practice is rooted in mindfulness and designed to make every client feel seen, held, and celebrated. Chloé’s work and her retreat offerings are extensions of her deeper mission: to help others reconnect to their bodies, their stories, and their truth.
