Growing up in Waldorf, Maryland, art has always been a part of my life. My grandmother, who was an artist, introduced me to drawing and origami when I was just five years old, and that’s where my passion for creating began. Those early moments laid the foundation for everything that followed. As I got older, anime like Dragon Ball Z and Naruto inspired me to take drawing more seriously and showed me how powerful art could be as storytelling and self-expression. During the COVID pandemic, while I was studying cybersecurity in college, I realized art was where I felt most at home. I’d already been creating tattoo designs that people were taking to other artists and seeing my work come to life made me realize that tattooing was the career I truly wanted to pursue. So I took a leap of faith and I’ve been dedicated to growing as an artist ever since. Since beginning my tattoo journey in 2021, my focus has been on creating custom tattoos that are meaningful, thoughtfully designed and built to last. I believe every tattoo should feel personal, so I enjoy working closely with each client to understand their vision and, whenever possible, elevate it with my own creativity. One of the most rewarding parts of tattooing is seeing a client’s reaction when they realize their idea has become something even better than they imagined. Today, I primarily focus on black and grey tattooing while pursuing black and grey realism as my long-term artistic direction. The artistry of black and grey Chicano tattooing has been a major influence on my growth and continues to inspire the direction of my work. More than anything, I want every client to have a great experience in my chair. Building genuine relationships, creating a comfortable space, and producing artwork people are proud to wear for a lifetime is what drives me every day. My goal is simple: create tattoos with purpose, quality, and creativity that you’ll be proud to wear for years to come
