I create dramatic, detail-driven pieces with strong composition and sharp contrast. I love working with clients who have a clear vision and are open to creative exploration. Currently focusing on medium-scale projects.
I’m an illustrative tattoo artist focused on strong composition, dramatic contrast, and designs that are instantly recognizable. I’m drawn to projects that feel layered and intentional, combining depth, pattern, and high-contrast lighting to create pieces that are both striking and decorative. Inspired by animation, fantasy, music, and many incredible visual artists, I approach each tattoo as a creative challenge and love collaborating with clients who have a clear vision but are open to exploration. My goal is to create work that feels ambitious, unique, and personal.
I’m currently apprenticing under Mick, owner and lead artist at Black Kraken Tattoos in Longmont, CO, where I’m developing my technical foundation and professional practice in a studio environment. Before tattooing, I built my foundation as a self-taught artist a focus in illustration, painting, and animation. That foundation continues to shape how I approach tattooing and I’m committed to constantly learning, refining my craft, and pushing my work further with every piece.

Follow these steps to ensure your new tattoo heals properly and looks its best for years to come.
Keep the initial bandage on for 2-4 hours after your session. Your artist will let you know the exact time based on your tattoo.
After removing the bandage, wash the tattoo gently with lukewarm water and fragrance-free antibacterial soap. Pat dry with a clean paper towel.
Apply a thin layer of fragrance-free moisturizer or tattoo aftercare ointment 2-3 times daily. A little goes a long way.
Your tattoo will start to peel and flake after a few days. This is normal! Never pick, scratch, or peel the flaking skin.
Keep your new tattoo out of direct sunlight for at least 2-3 weeks. Once healed, always apply SPF 30+ sunscreen to keep colors vibrant.
No swimming pools, hot tubs, baths, or saunas for at least 2-3 weeks. Quick showers are fine.
