The Artist

My art and tattoo practice are a form of therapy for me. I feel most present when I'm creating or co-creating with others. Over the past 13 years of tattooing, I've found that this practice can be a powerful tool for healing, empowerment, and emotional release.

 

While I offer a variety of original flash designs, I especially enjoy working with clients to bring their unique visions to life. If you're interested in a custom piece, please fill out the consultation form under the "Tattoos" tab or DM me on Instagram. 

 

I encourage all prospective clients to do some research before booking a tattoo, as every artist has a different style and approach. For example, I currently do not offer full-color tattoos (with the exception of single-color pieces). My work focuses primarily on soft black & grey realism and fine line tattooing.

 

As an energetically sensitive artist, I prefer to work in a quiet and calm, spa-like environment. So, if you’re someone who thrives in a high-energy or busier shop atmosphere, my private studio may not be the right fit—and that’s totally okay! My studio may be perfect for individuals looking to relax as they treat themselves to a sacred energy exchange. 

 

During consultations, I love connecting with clients and exploring their ideas. When it comes time to tattoo, I enter a quiet, focused zone. Because of this, I recommend bringing headphones or a book for your appointment, in case you'd like some personal entertainment. Of course, you're also welcome to simply relax and enjoy the private studio vibes—often accompanied by one of my favorite chill playlists, featuring artists like Khruangbin, Hermanos Gutiérrez, Glass Beams, and other magical sounds.
