I grew up in Le Claire, Iowa. I received a Bachelor’s degree in art from the University of Iowa in 2023 and have been focused on tattooing since.

My favorite tattoo style is neo-realism (realism with some hard lines). I also really enjoy doing neo-traditional and large scale floral pieces. I can do color, but right now I prefer black and grey.

Outside of tattooing, I enjoy playing guitar and finding new music.

I usually get pretty quiet once I start tattooing so that I can focus on the art. It doesn’t bother me if people in the room are talking. Talking is a good distraction for most - I encourage you to bring a friend if you want someone to actually carry a conversation with you. 

I am a planner. I prefer to have the stencil ready for the client when they show up. My process is slow, so I often have bigger projects almost finalized before the tattoo starts. I will absolutely make changes to the design for you if there is something that you do not like! Your art will turn out better with a little notice, especially with larger projects.
