My tattoo philosophy

These are some of the values that guide my tattoo practice!

You-centered process:

I am here to bring YOUR tattoo dreams to life. When asked, I will offer design and placement suggestions based on my experience, but the final design and where it is placed is up to you entirely. You can request as many design changes as you need to get the design aligned with your vision. We can move the stencil as many times as is needed in order to fit your vision. 

Body positivity: 

I want you to feel seen in the art I make. I create art for people that represents and celebrates ALL BODIES. I center diversity in my craft and in the people I tattoo. I especially create art for QUEER people, because we as queer people deserve to be represented and celebrated authentically in art and tattooing. I view queerness as a strength and a positive, and I center the safety and celebration of queerness in my craft and in the people I tattoo. 

Love:

I want you to experience unlimited self-love in your new skin. I want you to feel loved, heard, and taken care of throughout the tattoo experience. I want you to love the art you get from me.

Inclusion & accessibility

I will tattoo you regardless of your shape, size, ability, religion, race, gender, or sexuality. Whether it’s your first tattoo or your hundredth, you will have the power throughout the tattoo, and we will move at your pace. I will provide you with tools to help you through the tattoo process, such as aftercare information & product recommendations, fidget toys, sunglasses, tattoo furniture that meets your needs, snacks, beverages, and as many breaks as you need. My tattoo table is rated at 450 lbs, and I can accommodate your mobility requirements as well. I have surgical masks available at my station for clients and wear a mask while tattooing.

If you are on a budget, we can talk about design options that fit your budgetary needs, such as splitting up the tattoo into smaller sessions, or changing the design to make it budget friendly by adjusting the design’s size or style.

Just as important are the things I don’t tattoo. I do not tattoo racist images, words, or objects of hate. I do not tattoo culturally significant objects. I do not use tattoo methods that are closed practices.
