Ever since I was little, I have always had a love for all things art. I grew up drawing in mainly black and gray mediums, and had a certain nack for black and gray realism. Anything that has to do with nature? I can't wait to do it. Unfortunately starting out in the industry was pretty rough, not only as an artist, but even before that as an apprentice, all the way back to a client getting my first tattoos. I have been bullied out of designs, sexualized and felt unsafe, and felt like I didn't have a choice at the end of the day over what was going to be on my body permanently. This fueled my motivation to create a safe, welcoming environment for my clients.
