I’ve had an innate passion for art from a very young age. Growing up, I couldn’t wait until I was old enough to get tattooed, and I’ve always had a deep admiration for tattooers. However, the thought of being one was extremely intimidating and scary. Never in a million years would I have thought that (after many detours) I would end up working as a professional tattooer. I’m so fortunate to be a part of this industry, and I’ve gained so many wonderful friends and clients along the way. At the end of the day, I get to make a living doing what I love, and I couldn’t ask for more.

When I’m not working, I’m reading, crocheting, crafting, or picking up a new creative hobby. Right now I’m living with my husband, Kyle, and my two cats, Midnight & Popeye, in Wilmington, NC.
