I've been tattooing professionally for five years, but my love for art began much earlier—watching my dad bring vibrant paintings to life and my uncle sketch realistic drawings with ease. Growing up around Monterey County, I was constantly inspired by the creativity around me, but it was tattooing that felt the most personal and fulfilling—art that lives, moves, and becomes part of someone’s story. I work closely with each client to understand their vision, using their ideas, placement preferences, and references as a foundation to design tattoos that not only reflect who they are but also accentuate the natural flow of the body. For me, it’s all about turning someone’s idea into something meaningful, wearable, and beautifully unique.
