I never expected tattooing to be the most consistent relationship in my life… but here we are, almost 16 years deep. It’s something I’ve loved, hated, questioned, and committed to over and over again. Like anything real, it demands everything: dedication, patience, boundaries, respect, energy, compromise. Every piece I make carries a little piece of me with it, a timeline of my own growth in every tattoo. It’s shaped the way I see the world, the way I work, and the way I show up for the people who trust me with their skin. What I do is deeply considered. A mix of freehand and reference, but always built specifically for the person wearing it. their ideas, their needs, their story. I go as far as researching the world behind the concept… If it’s an animal, the right plants. If it’s a theme, the small details only someone who truly understands it would recognise. That level of care isn’t something you get from work pulled from an AI generator or copied without meaning. It comes from someone who genuinely creates with you, not just for you. That’s why good tattoos feel different. And why they last. in every sense. 🖤
