I’ve been in love with art for as long as I can remember. Drawing, pottery, fiber arts, crafting—you name it, I’ve probably tried it. In 2011, I picked up a tattoo machine for the first time and started teaching myself how to turn my artwork into something people could carry with them forever. What started as pure curiosity quickly became my passion.
Fast forward to 2025, I finally took the leap into professional licensing and joined Fresh Skin Tattoos—something I owe entirely to my mom, who pushed me to chase this dream. Without her encouragement, I don’t think I’d be here doing what I love every single day.
For me, tattoos aren’t just ink on skin—they’re memories, milestones, and moments that tell the story of a person’s life. But not every tattoo has to hold some deep meaning. Sometimes it’s just about creating something beautiful, unique, or fun—and that’s just as special.
I want my clients to feel like getting a tattoo isn’t intimidating or stuck in the old-school, gatekept way of doing things. My goal is to create a space where the experience feels welcoming, inclusive, and exciting—a place where art and community come together.
Tattooing isn’t just my career, it’s part of who I am. I love it so much that one day, I hope to pass down these skills to my two boys when they’re ready. Until then, I’m grateful for every person who trusts me with their skin, their stories, and their art.
