a little history

Tattooing since 2006, I began my journey in Delaware, spent 12 formative years in New York City, and am now based in Philadelphia, PA with my chihuahua Sprinkles and cat Vince.

I specialize in illustrative, ornamental, fine line, and bold traditional styles. My favorite subjects to tattoo are inspired by life, nature, whimsy, and fantasy. This inspiration comes to me from nature walks, renaissance faires, train rides, and a deep love of fantasy and horror films. I love the decorative arts, floral motifs, ornate wrought iron, plants, animals, bugs, and all things mythical and magical.

Tattooing for me is very personal. I believe getting tattooed gives you so much autonomy and control over your own body, and can even help you process pain in a safe way. I really love to help people feel good in their skin. I have a very light hand and gentle approach, and I strive to make each session as comfortable as possible.
