PHILOSOPHY:

Tattooing and art are both a sacred calling for me to work within a community. As a tattooer I wish to be of service to help facilitate meaning and adoration on our bodies.

The process that I do today is often a reworking of a millennia's old tradition. Keeping memories, connecting family, friends, creating a better understanding of oneself. I see it as an exchange of energy, a way to foster processing and intention. To provide a different way of processing through our physical meat bodies.

Tattooing can be a process of reclamation, devotion, connection, and ephemera. Thinking of Tattooing as an act of self expression, and an exercise in autonomy, a tool to repossess ones connection to their body.

Marking magic and stories into our skin. Creating living breathing identity either to share or to keep sacred. Tattooing as a healing practice/ritual of reclamation.

PRACTICE AS PROCESS:

I often find inspiration through story, memory, folklore and human experience. I love natural forms and wild colors, creating compositions based off of movement; Body; interpretation of feelings, thoughts and values from my clients and information provided! This is done via Online Request Form: when the form is submitted you will either be given a scheduling link for the session or a further consultation!

I take the information presented, research, and let my mind wander and feast before creating the artwork. I often call this process “Sin Eating”. It’s very much the process of taking the energy given to me and creating a personal story for you to have either as painting, print or tattoo! Once the session is booked, you will get a illustrated response based off of the information provided. 

Tattoos can be special or silly, as long as they are for you and your body. I would be honored to create something with you!
