About

I am self taught, but professionally perfected. I got my first tattoo done at the age of 14 and that's when I realized that I wanted to be a tattoo artist. I always dreamed of owning my own shop one day, but it didn't take me long to figure out that I prefer to do it as a hobby or a side hustle, rather than as a career. Mostly because of the high demand and the lack of confidence from clients that you'll be able to give them exactly what they want. I can only work on someone who can put their complete faith in me as their artist and trust that I am the one who can give them the tattoo they'll love forever. I tattoo the same way that I draw.. all over the place until it finally comes together in the end. So there will be times that you might look at something I'm in the middle of doing and be like "what the hell is going on there?!" but then once it's finished, you'll see that it's better than you had hoped for. I'm a perfectionist and it's the reason I'm such a good artist, because I don't half ass lines or detail, and I treat every tattoo as if it were one I was doing on myself. I will never charge based on time because I won't put a limit on any piece I'm doing as I will take as long as I need in order for it to be 100% perfect in your eyes and in mine. With that being said, I will only charge what the client and I both believe is a reasonable price but I'll also be more fair than most artists. I'm willing to work with you on price and payment as long as you don't try to take advantage. I'm understanding but I'm not stupid.. I also give discounts to anyone who brings me any referrals. O yea, and all of my work is free handed. No stencils used EVER!
