I’ve been putting art on anything and everything for as long as I can remember. From being a toddler and painting tattoos on my body with nail polish (which didn’t come off for weeks) to drawing all over the walls. I just can’t help but add a bit of art to everything wherever I go. I’m very grateful that now I get to put art on people for a living!
I started professionally tattooing in 2022 when I moved from Oklahoma to Fort St. John to be with my now husband. I had no job lined up when I got there but knew tattooing was what I wanted to do. I put together a portfolio, went to the best shop in town and started my apprenticeship the very next day!
I have a background in graphic design and love using that knowledge to create wicked intricate geometric tattoos.
When I’m not tattooing you’ll find me outside all the time. Camping, hiking, foraging, and climbing are the bomb! Nature is my favourite thing to take inspiration from and I love tattooing anything inspired by the earth’s beauty.
