My philosophy: Tattooing, the creation and collaboration processWhat inspires me to create art— is life, death and everything in between. I believe in creating intentional artwork and designs catered to the individual and their visions.Embedded into tattoos are an amalgamation of the human experience that I am honored to be a part of. The collaboration between artist and client is a sacred energetic exchange, to hold space for another.

♡ Currently I'm taking any requests in order to build my portfolio and gain more experience — whether the request is minimal or creative.♡ I'm interested in illustrative, fine-line, realism, dark art/blackwork, heavy shading and loose scratchy detail. Imagery includes plants, insects/animals, anatomy, oddities, nature motifs, symbolism, textures and abandoned lots to name a few. If your custom tattoo idea falls within or along this realm, I'd love to hear your proposal.♡ Once your request is received, I will get back to you as soon as possible. I'll confirm the potential design with you but no drafts will be sent. Adjustments and simple revisions are welcome the day of your session, although a complete redraw would require a reschedule.
