I enjoy the variety of permanent artwork that I get to create on people every single day, and it keeps me constantly motivated to draw and work in new, creative styles.

I always knew I wanted to do something artistic. I was “that kid” who had a pencil in my hand since the time I could hold one. I was constantly taking drawing classes, summer art camps and many other creative drawing programs throughout my early years. Being a creative, experienced tattoo artist allows me to push my boundaries, and enjoy the variety of what I get to create permanently on people every single day.

With over a decade of experience, I have found the right location for me, at Grey Havens Tattoo. I’m at a shop that lets me express who I am and who I want to be artistically. Here I’m able to really focus on tailoring my experience to each individual client and giving them the best custom tattoo they could ask for.

I am passionate about what I do and offer clients, and want to give them the ultimate tattoo experience. Whether it’s the ability to book their appointments online, offering and including specific aftercare, or just within the tattoo design itself. I want your tattoo experience with me to stand out from the rest.

I pride myself on standing out by being a client driven artist who listens and wants the customer to have a one of a kind experience they will always remember. Based on past personal experiences at other shops I realize the process of getting a tattoo can be a very intimidating experience for anyone, so I want them to be comfortable and understand that I’m on the same page, patient and listening. Different from many other artists, I set aside a lot of time to prepare for each client and hold myself to an extremely high standard. I envision every detail of the tattoo they want and create a custom piece that exceeds their expectations.

My goal is to create an instant positive reaction each and every time I show a client the initial drawing of their new tattoo.

I take the entire process into consideration, including the placement and design concept of each tattoo. Most of the work I do is nature related. I focus on flora, fauna and anything along those lines. It is often referred to as “ornamental designs with an organic touch”. My black & grey work is my most popular style and it’s packed with delicate stippling and fine line detail.  I enjoy implementing aspects of texture into each unique tattoo I create to give it added depth. On top of that, I want each tattoo I create to compliment and fit the contours of that specific client’s body. The negative space surrounding the tattoo is just as important as the tattoo itself. Having perfect placement, sizing and composition/juxtaposition of a piece is at the forefront of my mind. I want each client to look at their tattoo and see the organic flow of how it balances with that body part.

I also specialize in creating cover ups for clients, by taking a tattoo they are unhappy with and completely transforming it into another tattoo altogether. Seeing the before and after of the process is one of the most exhilarating experiences for me personally. I love bringing a tattoo back to life that needed a little “TLC”, or creating a completely new piece that the client can finally be proud of.

Ultimately, it’s what the client wants that matters most to me, and having an amazing experience start to finish where expectations are always exceeded.
