I never knew that tattooing would change my life. Learning how to tattoo cracked me open as an artist. I had to strip down everything I thought I knew about art and relearn how to draw in a way that would be best for skin. 

Tattooing was the missing piece that connected all of my life skills. From teaching preschool, working with sea turtles, managing dispensaries, bartending, customer service, etc; it all led me here. It’s all connected and important. Each step was to prepare me for this moment.

Every single client that I get the honor to work with has changed my life. You all have such a special place in my heart. My clients are my friends, therapists, muses, and teachers. 

I can’t thank tattooing or all of you enough. You make my life so special. I’m so grateful I’m here on this journey with you all, right now. How lucky are we!? 🥹🤍
