TATTOO ARTIST

Photographer

For the ones who want

to immortalize the things they love

…or maybe just a little bit of fun

Art has been my main form of expression since I ​can remember and although I’ve just begun, my ​dynamic with creating is deeply rooted in reverence ​to any art form.

My goal is to administer a tattoo uniquely for you; ​it’s a dream being able to leave my mark on ​someone in a way that allows them to express ​themselves.

Hopefully I’ll be meeting you soon!

FAQS

How do I schedule an appointment?

Via the booking tab.

I do not accept bookings through instagram DM's due to the disorganization.

When will I see my design?

Drawings are presented the day of the appointment.

Can you tattoo a design I commissioned?

Only if there's written consent from the artist.

This is my first tattoo! How do I prepare? What do I bring?

Please bring your ID, a bottle of water and a snack although we do provide some here. I ​do not mind if you bring along a support system of one person, especially for nervous/ ​anxious clients but please do not bring a group of friends with you. Not only is it ​distracting for the artists in the room but it enables our clients to move around which ​interferes with the quality of work their receiving. They will be asked to sit in the ​waiting room.

Can I be tattooed if I'm under 18?

Unfortunately, I only tattoo 18+.

Can I use numbing cream or spray at my appointment?

Yes but please make the artist aware. Numbing cream may cause redness to the skin ​prior and/or added swelling during the tattoo.

I'm a person of color, is it possible for me to have colored tattoos? Or simply good ​quality tattoos?

Yes it is!

Dermatologist Joyce I. Imahiyerobo-Ip,MD says it best;

"In the epidermis, there are pigmented cells called melanocytes, and everyone (no ​matter how light or how dark your complexion is) has the same amount.

Melanocytes produce melanosomes, and that's what determines skin color.

People of color produce more amounts of melanosomes, giving their skin a different ​shade. The idea that people with darker skin tones have "tougher" or "thicker" skin is ​incorrect and rooted in racist stereotypes."

I'm an apprentice and there's lots to learn but I recommend a color test. I'm not at a ​skill level where I can eyeball your complexion and choose the best tones. My goal is ​to work together to give you the best quality tattoo I can. A color test is when we'll ​choose the ideal colors you'd like and tattoo the color palette in a small, discreet area. ​We'll allow them to heal and in 2-3 weeks, you will come back so we can choose what ​colors we feel are most vibrant and compliment you. This test will be included in your ​tattoo deposit of $40, at no extra charge.
