I’ve been an art kid for as long as I can remember, usually drawing instead of paying attention in class. Art and music were always the things I naturally gravitated towards. After school I studied graphic design, where I developed a love for composition, visual storytelling and making things feel intentional. At 20, I was lucky enough to land a tattoo apprenticeship, and it quickly became clear that tattooing was the medium I’d been looking for. I’d always loved tattoos and had a huge respect for the artists behind them, so getting to turn something I loved into a career felt pretty surreal.

​

My style has grown from being a bit of a sponge. I pull inspiration from tattooing, fashion, music and the graphics and aesthetics of pop punk and hardcore, constantly collecting little pieces of things I love and letting them find their way into my work. I specialise in black & grey illustrative tattooing, often with darker subject matter, and I’m particularly drawn to neo-tribal, heavier blackwork, medieval-inspired imagery, lettering and female portraits. I also love working on larger pieces where there’s room to really build an image and let the composition come alive.

​

For me, tattooing is just as much about the person as the artwork. I want my clients to feel comfortable being honest about what they love, what they don't, and what they actually want on their skin. The best tattoos happen when I can take an idea that exists in someone's head and turn it into something that feels completely theirs. Getting to hear “this is exactly what I imagined” is still one of my favourite parts of the job.
