Art has always been in my blood. I started drawing as soon as I could hold a pencil, and from that moment on, I was hooked. Growing up, art wasn’t just something I did — it was the way I saw the world. I spent my childhood experimenting with anything I could find oil paints, charcoal, airbrushes, markers, scraps of paper. If it made a mark, I was using it to create.

Tattooing came into my life in 2006, and it changed everything. I didn’t have a mentor, a shop, or even a real clue what I was doing — just a machine, some fake skin, and the unshakable belief that this was what I was meant to do. Being self-taught in the beginning meant learning the hard way, making mistakes, and pushing through every challenge with pure determination.

Eventually, I earned an apprenticeship and threw myself headfirst into the craft. That was the turning point. Tattooing became more than just art — it became a lifestyle, a discipline, and a passion that consumed me. Every line, every shade, every piece I’ve done since has been a part of that journey.

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to tattoo across the country, learning from other artists, connecting with people from all walks of life, and putting my heart into every piece I create. My style has been shaped by that journey — bold, detailed, emotional, and always evolving.

After years on the road, I found my peace in the mountains of North Carolina. There’s something about the stillness here that feeds my creativity in a whole new way. This place is home — and the studio is where I bring ideas to life, one tattoo at a time.
