For me, inspiration comes from all over—primarily from sculpture, cinema, and the many special FX artists I grew up admiring, including Paul Booth, Jose Perez, and Corey Miller.

I learned the stick-and-poke craft while living in New Jersey. But with easy access to Brooklyn, I was able to witness the rebirth of hand-poke firsthand as a feminist art form and as a way to reclaim ownership of the body. When I moved back to the Capital Region, I began my career as a machine free artist and also work full-time as a high school art educator.

I specialize in American traditional style tattoos.

My faith inspires my work. Seeing the smile on my clients’ faces once their artwork is complete is everything to me. I want to make my clients feel better about themselves while being able to express their creativity. It’s my honor to tattoo them and bring ideas to life. Leaving a positive impact on everyone I meet while making kickass art brings me so much joy.
