Girls & Roses was created to merge artistry with structure, offering a professional, stress-free experience for Collectors and Artists alike.

These values guided how we served our Collectors, supported our Artists, and operated our Studio.

They remain the foundation of how Ruben Garcia and Stephanie Cencibaugh continue to create, lead, and build.

Girls & Roses believed that artistry grows through structure and shared knowledge.

The studio created The Residency, a three-month paid educational program for licensed tattoo artists, a modern evolution of the traditional tattoo apprenticeship.

Combining mentorship, technical refinement, and creative discipline, the program bridged the gap between tattoo school and sustainable professional practice, reflecting the same standards that guided every part of the studio.

Beyond the studio, Girls & Roses played an active role in the Kerns Neighborhood Association and partnered with Kernside.org to support local creative and small business initiatives. These collaborations reflected the same values that defined the studio: connection, contribution, and creative excellence within the Portland community.

The ethos of Girls & Roses continues through its founders:

• Stephanie Cencibaugh — Entrepreneur & Strategist
  
• Ruben Garcia — Artist & Co-Founder
  
  Both continue to explore how creativity, sustainability, and leadership intersect with purpose and clarity.
