While I work across a range of tattoo styles to meet the unique vision of each client, my strongest specialties lie in Color Realism, Neo-Traditional, and Black & Grey Realism. I’m passionate about creating bold, dynamic pieces that combine technical precision with artistic depth—whether it's the vibrant, lifelike detail of color work, the stylized yet timeless elements of NeoTrad, or the subtle shading and emotion captured through Black & Grey realism. These styles allow me to bring both storytelling and craftsmanship into every tattoo I create.
-
All tattoo designs are reviewed and finalized with clients on the day of their appointment to ensure alignment with their vision and allow for any last-minute adjustments.
-
I am always open to consulting for cover up pieces. All cover-ups are considered on a case-by-case basis as there are no guarantees.

In the Days Before Your Appointment
Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your tattoo. Hydrated skin takes ink better.
Moisturize your skin: Apply unscented lotion daily to keep your skin healthy, but skip lotion on the day of the tattoo.
Avoid alcohol and drugs: These can thin your blood and increase bleeding. Avoid them for at least 24–48 hours beforehand.
Get enough rest: Aim for a full night's sleep before your appointment.Don’t get sunburned or exfoliate the area: Damaged skin can't be tattooed.
The Day Of Your Tattoo
Eat a good meal: Have a filling meal with protein and carbs beforehand. This helps maintain blood sugar during the session.
Bring snacks and water: Especially if your session will last a few hours.
Shower and wear clean, comfortable clothes: Especially clothes that give easy access to the area being tattooed.
Avoid caffeine if you're anxious: It can increase restlessness and sensitivity.
Bring entertainment: Headphones, music, a book, or something to keep you distracted.
Bring ID: A legal photo ID is required. -
