Keeping a fresh perspective after years of experience
 

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 developed my art style and learned how to be part of a team always with the focus of providing the best service I could for clients. I was led to different shops and locations and was able to connect with many local individuals that I still see day to day.

After a certain point I realized 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 in a private studio 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.

So here we are. 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!
