About
Tattoos Are Magic
Humans have been marking themselves with ink since before we had written language: as adornment, as memory, as a totem, as protection, as a spell.
Tattooing is more than art—it's transformation.
Tattoos don’t sit quietly in a frame; they move, flirt, sweat, dance, age, and remember. That is the magic.
They connect you to the person you were the day you got inked, to the chapters you've closed, and to the person you chose to become.
Board-Certified Needle Wizard
I'm a tattoo artist based in Forest Grove, Oregon, serving the greater Portland area. My work is informed by a fine art foundation from the Pacific Northwest College of Art (BFA, Animated Arts) and the tattooing discipline I learned under the mentorship of Angela Mooney.
As a multi-disciplinary artist, I let each medium influence my tattoo designs. My art often draws on themes like mythology, art history, the occult, and blending old technologies with the modern.
I specialize in custom designs across a variety of styles, including neo-traditional, American traditional, illustrative, talismanic, blackwork, and black out tattoos. I'm always open to exploring new styles and challenging custom concepts!
I live like every day is Halloween! This translates to an atmosphere that celebrates the weird, dark, and mysterious—I even decorate with my collection of vintage Halloween ephemera, and I always have candy for my clients!
When I’m not tattooing, I'm probably thrifting, crafting something delightfully extra, or preventing my dog from eating rocks (again). I am also a card-carrying member of the American Federation of Astrologers, often checking the space weather.
