No matter what part of the world I am tattooing in, I want my clients to walk in and immediately feel like the space is for them. I want it to be calm and inviting. I want them to feel they are meant to be there and they are welcome to be exactly who they are while there.

I love to connect with my clients, there is nothing like it. I would love my clients to feel connected to each other and to me. I don’t mind your “entourage”. I love having your friends and family there if you do!

Most of all I would love my clients to feel like this experience was about them and not their artist. I am here to serve and it is my good fortune that I get to do that in a way that is so fulfilling for me inherently.

I have made a point of learning to work with darker skin from the very start of my career in tattooing, this is something I am passionate about teaching my apprentices as well. This means not only the differences in the skin itself and how to tattoo it but also how to design with darker skin in mind so that your tattoos come out legible and last a long time.

Working to battle racism in the tattoo industry is something that will continue to be one of my priorities and I dont expect anyone to trust me just because I have a blurb on my website talking about it. I continue to educate myself and spread awareness of the forms of racism that are ingrained in the tattoo world. I also do my best to align myself with like minded tattooers in the spaces I work.

I dont assume that this is enough to guarantee that a person feels safe to be here and I hope instead that one day it simply is

So in the meantime we keep trying.

I am queer! Yay for rainbow mafia! It really really does not matter who you are, I aim to be loudly queer friendly because not all tattoo shops are and it is worth mentioning. I am enthusiastic to welcome all and any gender identities and orientations into my chair. You don’t need to explain yourself or worry about judgement.

This really goes for more than gender or orientation, I love tattooing all bodies, young old (okay at least 18), big, small, any skin tone, any religion, any mental spice level. Really, anyone!

As someone with multiple forms of Neurodivergence myself, I am welcoming to all brain types, divergent or not, and I can work with you if you have any special requests or even special ideas revolving around your unique experience of life. Plus I keep a bag of fidgets on hand for my sensory folks!

I am eco-sensitive! Many new tattoo products and tools are coming out that are biodegradable and I use them wherever I can in place of regular products. I do this while maintaining a quality of service that ensures your tattoo still gets the best possible result.
