Art has been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember.

 

Before becoming a tattoo artist, I earned two fine art degrees, studied with exceptional painters, and taught a variety of mediums through schools, nonprofits, and workshops.

My work is deeply influenced by Western Impressionism, Golden Age illustration, spontaneous Chinese brush painting, and Renaissance drawing—but what excites me most is translating the feeling of traditional art into tattooing.

​

I’m especially drawn to tattoos that feel painterly, expressive, and alive—work that suggests movement, softness, atmosphere, and intentional mark making. Whether inspired by charcoal, gouache, oil paint, or graphite, I love creating pieces that feel organic and beautifully at home on the body.

​

Above all, I care deeply about the experience of being tattooed. My goal is to create a space where clients feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for throughout the process.

Creating art with another person is a meaningful exchange, and I’m deeply grateful to every client who trusts me with their ideas, their time, and their skin.
