I’ve been creating art for as long as I can remember, which makes tattooing easy for me to love.
But to me, tattooing is more than an art form.
I take it very seriously that strangers trust me and allow me to make a permanent change to their body.
The fact that I get to create a unique design for someone and then put it on their skin is not a privilege I take lightly!
Years, even decades from now, not only do I want you to look at your tattoo and still love what you see — I want you to remember a positive experience!
One of my favorite things about being a tattoo artist is getting to be a part of your journey making your body even more your own — you feeling more confident in your skin, enhancing your natural uniqueness with a piece of art that I made just for you.
Sometimes clients will tell me “I used to hate this part of my body, but now I love it with this tattoo!” For me, that feeling is hard to beat. :)
About Me
I have been drawing my whole life — mainly digitally since the age of 14. This passion helped lead me to a 12+ year long career in Web and Graphic Design prior to my switch to tattooing.
I began my apprenticeship at Cal Tattoo (Menomonee Falls) in 2020 and was a full-time artist by 2022.
Aside from art, I love Japanese culture, video games, and anime — which is why I love creating tattoos related to those things! I accidentally made my favorite color my whole personality… and my hair color.
When I’m not at work, I’m probably relaxing at home, playing video games or watching movies with my spouse while we are suffocated by our cats (my loves). 🐈⬛🐈⬛
