Creating Meaning Through Art & Tattoos

I have always had a love for creating and visual forms of expression, whether it be tattooing, photography, woodworking, or drawing. My tattoo journey started in 2019 in Morristown, NJ, where I worked until moving to North Carolina in 2024. I tattooed out of Ascension Studio in Chapel Hill until moving to Farron Studios in Carrboro. In 2014 I graduated from Lesley University College of Art with a degree in Studio Arts. Bring me your color tattoos, art history inspired pieces, sketch-style, nature related, or anything meaningful to you.


My non-tattoo interests include traveling, sculpting, my cats, deep-diving true crime cases, and looking for unique roadside attractions.

I charge by the piece but it’s typically between $150-$170/hr with an $100 minumum. I do reworks of old tattoos but no coverups or tattoos below the wrist or above the neck.
