Tattooing, for me, is a way of honoring moments in time.
As a fine art tattoo artist in Vancouver, WA, I’m drawn to the balance between light and dark, the eternal and the impermanent — and the way ink can hold both beauty and gravity at once. Whether a tattoo carries deep personal meaning or is chosen simply for the joy of its form, my approach is always custom, thoughtful, and rooted in artistry.

My path to tattooing began long before I ever held a machine. I have over ten years of experience as a fine artist and earned my Bachelor of Science in Art & Technology from the University of Oregon, where I expanded my practice through painting, illustration, design, and a deep study of color and composition.

In 2023, I apprenticed through Earth Altar Studio in Downtown Los Angeles, where I refined not only my technical skills, but also a rigorous standard of hygiene and a client-centered, trust-based approach to tattooing. Since then, I’ve helped grow the Earth Altar Tattoo Collective alongside my mentor and fellow artists — work that was featured in Inked Magazine in 2025.

I began drawing tattoo designs as early as middle school, inspired by the women I saw in magazines and the visual language of music and subculture. To now offer this work professionally is something I hold with deep gratitude. I’m endlessly thankful to the clients who trust me with their skin and allow me to create art that will live with them through time.
