Started tattooing as of April, 2025
I was born and raised in central oregon and Grew up on a ranch in Tumalo raising cows, horses, goats, chickens and more. Spent a couple years in Corvallis in 2018 and moved back to Bend in 2021. I attended Monolith Tattoo Academy Winter term of 2025.

Ever since I saw tattoos on the people around me growing up I thought they were the coolest thing ever. The idea of putting art on the body permanently was always beautiful to me. Gave myself my first tattoo when I was 15 or 16 and never looked back.
-
I love alot of styles, but American traditional, Japanese traditional and black work have a special place in my heart.
-
I paint, draw, charcoal sketch, watercolor and do ceramics as well. Acrylic paints are my favorite medium aside from tattooing.
-
I could go on and on, but to just name a few; Edward Kehoe, Aitch, Gurt Smash, Gabe Devoll, Shun Seventhson, Ed Hardy, Andy Beswick, Jasmine Chan, Horiaka, Pado, and most importantly my father, Henry “Ben” Walker-Waltz.
-
I cook both as a job and hobby, and like to read on cold days. Music is also a lifelong hobby and passion of mine and I wish to make music in the future.
-
I enjoy going for walks, driving up to Pilot Butte, and attending local music shows. I am partial to the local metal and punk scenes and am frequently spotted in the pit. I also enjoy visiting parks and drawing or going to jazz nights.
-
Everywhere. I have always wanted to travel the world, and have taught myself multiple languages in preparation. Top of the list right now is Japan, France, Italy and South Korea for the culture, arts and food!
