Welcome everyone, I’ve been a paid professional artist for most of my adult life. I have two degrees (AA- Advertising Art, BA-Graphic Design), and as a graphic designer, I spent 10 years instructing at the college level. I got into tattooing and piercing because I saw the opportunity to do something I loved, without having to conform to the corporate world’s whims and rigid structures. 

I absolutely love the freedom that comes from this profession. Exceeding my client’s expectations gives me a satisfaction I rarely received in the corporate world. The personal nature of this business has allowed me to form long-lasting friendships with the people I serve.

As a Tattoo Artist and Piercer, I thoroughly enjoy what I do and couldn’t imagine doing anything else. I love to create; the style or subject of the tattoo doesn’t affect how much I enjoy doing the work. I get satisfaction in the job well done and the relationship that develops out of these endeavors. I believe there’s a story behind every tattoo; let’s make the next one yours!
