I can thank my parents for getting me involved
in the tattoo industry.
One of my earliest memories was watching my mom get tattooed by Durb at Stained Skin way back in the early 2000's. My family would go to Hell City and check out all the amazing tattooers and artists, and I immediately fell in love. Fast forward to March, 2019- I met my tattoo dad (Gio) and got hired at Evolved Body Art, a legendary shop in Columbus, OH. I met the love of my life there (heyyy Travis ;D) and found myself surrounded by a tattoo family that I hope to stay connected with for the rest of my life. Over the next 3.5 years I learned a lot, met a whole bunch of amazing people, and perfected my fine-line style.
Nick and Andy did a phenomenal job creating an extremely thorough hygiene/tattoo curriculum,
probably one of the best in the country, and I'm so thankful for all of the knowledge (and friendships)
that I was able to obtain during my time at Evolved.
July 2022, I decided to join Mat Franklin's team at Parlor Suites in downtown Columbus.
I have my own private studio and was able to curate my own space, and truly be my own boss.
I plan on staying in a private studio setting for the time being, so I can focus on exploring new styles and getting back into creating art outside of tattooing. I can't wait to see where this career takes me, it's the best job in the world and I'm so thankful to be here! Lastly, I wouldn't be here without my supportive friends and clients- you guys make my world go round- thank you for being a major part of this journey!
Fine art has been my passion throughout my entire life, wayyy before I got started with my tattooing career. I studied multiple types of art as well as graphic design at OSU. My work has been featured in the Columbus Dispatch as well as other publications, and I've participated in multiple art shows and festivals.
My favorite thing to draw has always been mandalas; freehand, painted on skateboards, doodled on napkins at a bar- I really just love the radial symmetry and perfectly imperfect nature of them. I also love the human form, and created a body-positive portrait project titled "Send Nudes" that focuses on helping people celebrate and love their bodies! I have a separate Instagram account for this project if you're interested in checking it out :) Updates on commission openings will be posted on that page.
I use single-use disposable needles and barriers for every tattoo. I also use hospital grade disinfectants before and after every tattoo.
