I grew up in the bay area all my life. Since I was 5 years old I couldn't help but draw and do crafty things all the time, it basically just came to me naturally. 

 

At the age of 12 I knew I wanted to be a tattoo artist. Throughout my school years I would practice by drawing on friends with some sharpies and cheap pens. Taking art as my elective class through middle school and high school helped me understand the structural importance of art in society and  help me hone in on my skills.

​

At 17 my dad bought me my first tattoo machine set off Ebay and I would practice on fruits, myself and friends. (please don't tattoo yourself or friends). This tattoo set was OLD school, I had a foot pedal and had to set my machine up with rubber bands.  I would sit  for hours tattooing on grapefruit and drawing on a single sheet of paper at my parents dining table until the early A.M.. Studying different styles, genres, and techniques through Youtube and google helped me progress my creative skills, which continued into dabbling with graphic design, canvases, clothing and more!

​

From there I found an apprenticeship that propelled my career to where it is today. Now, I'm tattooing fully licensed in the state of California and registered in Santa Clara county. There is not a moment in my life where I don't feel blessed to be where I currently am.

Creating new custom artwork for each client pushes my artistic boundaries and make me a better artist, I fall in love with each piece I work on. Connecting with my clients and getting to know them are just a couple of highlights for each session. Thank you for checking out my website! Hopefully you will pick me as your artist.
