Learning the fundamentals of tattooing through years spent in shops and around the craft, with a focus on strong design, steady progression, and respect for the history of traditional tattooing. Currently building experience across multiple styles while continuing to grow through practice on both artificial and real skin. Bloodborne Pathogen, First Aid, and CPR certified.
Arizona-based artist with over 10 years of experience running independent businesses built around creativity, customer service, scheduling, and professionalism. After spending years around tattoo shops and the industry, I decided to fully pursue tattooing and have dedicated the last several years to improving my artwork through sketching, watercolor, design fundamentals, color theory, and consistent practice on both artificial and real skin. Influenced by traditional tattooing and inspired by multiple styles, I continue focusing on growth, strong fundamentals, and respect for the craft while building experience in tattooing, artwork, and visual media. Outside of tattooing, I have been involved in skateboarding, motocross, and creative culture for many years, all of which continue to influence my creativity and approach to tattooing.
While still early in my tattoo career, I approach the craft with patience, consistency, and a strong respect for learning the right way. I enjoy studying multiple styles including American traditional, Japanese traditional, neo-traditional, black and grey, and illustrative design. My goal is to continue developing well-rounded fundamentals while creating clean, thoughtful artwork that clients can wear proudly for life. I value professionalism, communication, and giving every piece the time and attention it deserves.

Follow these steps to ensure your new tattoo heals properly and looks its best for years to come.
Keep the initial bandage on for 2-4 hours after your session. Your artist will let you know the exact time based on your tattoo. If your artist uses Saniderm type bandage then care instructions will be a little different and your artist will let you know.!
After removing the bandage, wash the tattoo gently with lukewarm water and fragrance-free antibacterial soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.
Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free moisturizer or tattoo aftercare ointment 2-3 times daily. A little goes a long way.
Your tattoo will start to peel and flake after a few days. This is normal! Never pick, scratch, or peel the flaking skin.
Keep your new tattoo out of direct sunlight for at least 2-3 weeks. Once healed, always apply SPF 30+ sunscreen to keep colors vibrant.
No swimming pools, hot tubs, baths, or saunas for at least 2-3 weeks. Quick showers are fine.
Peeling and light scabbing are normal during healing. Avoid scratching, picking, or removing peeling skin, as this can affect healing and ink retention.
