🌞 a little about me 🌞

I began my tattoo journey in chichester pennsylvania in 2004, tattooing fake skin and my friends with a huck spaulding tattoo kit my ex boyfriend bought me out of the back of a tattoo magazine. i apprenticed in delaware from 2006-2008, and then spent 12 formative years in New York City. i am currently based in Philadelphia, PA with my chihuahua Sprinkles and cat Vince.

I specialize in illustrative black & Grey, ornamental, fine line, and bolder traditional styles. My favorite subjects to tattoo are inspired by nature, whimsy, and fantasy. This inspiration comes to me from hikes, renaissance faires, train rides, and a deep love of all things mythical and magical. I am especially into exploring themes revolving around the decorative arts, floral motifs, ornate wrought iron, cast iron, plants, animals, and most bugs.

Tattooing to me is a very personal and intimate experience. i take special care to make sure your experience with me is a positive one. I believe getting a tattoo grants you so much autonomy and control over your own body, which should always be the case. I really love to help people feel good and comfortable in their skin. I have a very light hand, and I do my best to make each session as comfortable as possible for you.
