About Me

My Background & Approach

I’ve been building toward tattooing for most of my life - starting with formal art study early on, then years of professional visual-art work before entering tattooing full-time.

I began studying visual arts in grade school through evening music and art programs, and continued into college-level visual arts. I worked as a visual artist (illustration, painting, graphic design) before venturing into the tattoo world.

In 2019, I started tattooing and apprenticed with Vinnie Batlle at Bold City Tattoo in Jacksonville, Florida. I became a full-time tattoo artist in 2020.

In early 2022, I moved to Atlanta and joined Thunderbolt Tattoo & Piercing, owned and operated by industry veteran Joe Vegas.

In July 2026, I opened my own private tattoo studio in the Toco Hills neighborhood of Atlanta, where I operate today.

What you can expect working with me

  • Artist-first design: I draw and plan with composition, flow, and longevity in mind - not just what looks good on day one.

  • A calm, collaborative process: clear communication, realistic expectations, and guidance through each step.

  • Professional training and environment: apprenticeship-trained, 7+ years of experience, fully licensed, certified, and inspected by the state.

  • Consistency: I’d rather do fewer pieces the right way than rush work that won’t age well.
