About

I’m a Seattle-based tattoo artist specializing in bold, custom work rooted in Traditional and Neotraditional tattooing, with influences from Japanese art, Art Nouveau, ornamental design, and psychedelic aesthetics. Originally from Savannah, Georgia, I’ve been immersed in tattoo shops since 2012, learning through apprenticeships and hands-on experience after years of drawing as a self-taught illustrator.

 

Growing up, I was always drawing—anime, skateboard graphics, album covers—and collecting tattoo magazines. Those early influences shaped my eye early on and led to a lasting fascination with Japanese aesthetics and American tattoo traditions. As my style developed, it absorbed the flowing composition of Art Nouveau, the bold clarity of Traditional Americana, and the surreal, symbolic edge of psychedelic art.

 

I got my start in street shops, where I tattooed just about everything and gained experience across a wide range of styles. These days, I focus more intentionally on large-scale, painterly tattoos—often rooted in the designs I paint. That said, I’m open to a variety of inquiries, from fine-line florals to more detailed illustrative work, as long as I can bring my own aesthetic and vision to the design.

 

Tattooing, to me, is both a craft and a language. Every piece is drawn from scratch, designed to move with the body and hold strong over time. Whether it’s a piece of flash, a small custom, or a multi-session project, I work best when I’m given creative freedom and a shared sense of trust.

Tattoos made to last.
