At 16, I snuck out to get my first tattoo and have been hooked since. I’ve always been drawn to body modification, and after years of painting and dabbling with apparel art, tattooing felt like a natural transition. Once I got the chance to apprentice, I fully committed and now I can’t imagine doing anything else.
My style is subversive, ornamental, and fluid. My process is both collaborative and intuitive. Starting with a conversation to understand my client’s vision, vibe, and goals, I often freehand on the body to feel the flow and movement of the body before going straight into tattooing or creating a stencil from it. Whether it’s a freehand piece or something drawn digitally, I enjoy focusing on how the tattoo will evolve will over time.
