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.

I'm a tattoo artist based in Portland, Oregon, creating custom tattoos in a welcoming, judgment-free space.
I specialize in custom tattooing across a variety of styles, including neo-traditional, American traditional, illustrative, blackwork, blackout, and talismanic tattoos.
I believe tattoos are a collaboration between artist, body, and story. Your anatomy, movement, skin, scars, identity, and personal style all help shape the final piece, making it uniquely yours.
I welcome people of all ages, backgrounds, skin tones, body types, and gender identities. Whether you're getting your first tattoo or adding to a growing collection, I'm here to help bring your ideas to life with care, curiosity, and respect.
