Artist Bio

I've been an artist my whole life, and have been tattooing professionally for 18 years. From 2007-2022 I made my tattoo career in Seattle and since 2022 am now back in my old hometown of Auburn CA in this private studio.

I have always strived to be a well-rounded artist that can tackle almost any style or subject matter. I have lots of experience with award-winning portraits, large floral work, tattoo coverups, reworking and retouching old tattoos, covering scar tissue (including mastectomy scars), and using color with pigmented skin, and am now offering reconstructive areola tattooing (3D nipple tattoos) for those that have had mastectomy or top surgery.  I love to work on a collaborative basis with my clients to create a tattoo that they love that will look great on their body for years to come.

My favorite style when I'm making my own art is realism, especially portraits. I also absolutely love doing pinups (and have 3 "Best Pinup" awards 3 years running from the Seattle Tattoo Expo). I have always LOVED illustrative styles especially art nouveau, and in particular Alphonse Mucha and have recreated many of his famous panels in tattoo form and love making custom art nouveau pieces for people. My favorite subject matter tends to be feminine divine, dark aesthetics, and pretty much any kind of spooky stuff!  I really enjoy working in classic black and grey but also excel at color work.
