My Background
My tattoo story started in the 2000s (yes that long ago!). Caught up in the huge boom in tattooing as tattoos became more accepted and part of pop culture I found myself juggling multiple jobs, one of which was being an apprentice at a local tattoo studio. Thinking possible naively that 'I can do that!' I absorbed everything I could related to tattoo art, culture and history. I was always interested in art but this was the first time I committed fully to an art form, one that led me into other styles of fine art as well.
I worked every day for years developing my art style and learning how to be part of a team and provide the best service I could for clients. My tattooing career led me to different shops and locations and I was able to connect with many local individuals that I still see day to day.
After a certain point I came to the realization that when it involves tattooing, less is more. That to provide the best tattoo experience the focus has to be on the client who is getting tattooed. Working directly with the client in a private studio environment provides the most efficient and productive way to complete a tattoo. This environment is cleaner as well and leads to tattoos that heal better and look better over time. With this in mind I started tattooing privately, attempting to create the best tattoos and designs I possible could. This was a large undertaking for me. So with my private studio setup I was ready to go.
After years of tattooing privately I wanted to continue learning in other ways and decided to go back to school. Being a recent health sciences graduate makes me proud to have finally completed my education and I can now focus on what's next. So here we are. I am still tattooing. I work privately in my own environment which caters to the clients I tattoo and also helps provide a calm, relaxed atmosphere. I continue to learn with every unique request and am excited to see what the future holds!
