I grew up in the suburbs of Wichita, Kansas — a true Midwest girl at heart. After moving to Austin in 2021 and spending several years in the corporate world, I reached a point where I knew I needed something more creative, hands-on, and meaningful.

​

With encouragement from my partner, I decided to pursue tattooing and began my apprenticeship at Pride & Joy Tattoo in January of 2022. Ten months later, I became a full-time tattoo artist and found my footing in American traditional and fine line tattooing — styles rooted in history, craft, and longevity.

​

What drew me to tattooing was my love of art and my desire to create a space where people feel comfortable, respected, and genuinely welcome. I want my booth to feel like a small sanctuary — a place where people of all genders, sexualities, races, and body types can take a breath, feel safe, and leave feeling more at home in their bodies than when they arrived.

Tattooing, for me, is about trust and presence. Every appointment is an exchange — someone offering an idea, a memory, or a feeling, and trusting me to help translate it into something permanent. I take that responsibility seriously and approach each piece with care, patience, and attention to detail, knowing it will live with someone long after they leave the studio.

​

Outside of the studio, I love traveling with my partner, Damini, and our pup, Cigar. I’m usually exploring local events, restaurants, and dives, soaking up the people and places that keep me inspired.
