I enjoy doing reworks, coverups, and scar coverups. I am always looking to travel to different places and I enjoy doing conventions and guest spots.

All bodies are welcome in my chair. I follow the morality and lifestyle that any body type, skin color, gender, skin type can be tattooed. I am always continuing to educate myself on how to be a better tattooer and strive to create a safe environment for all of my clients.
