I’d wanted to be an art therapist till i realized i wouldn’t be able to make all the crazy funky art i wanted to, but when i watched a tv show featuring a girl tattoo artist in middle school, it all clicked: i could make a living talking to people about real shit on topics that transcended surface level while simultaneously getting to make the weird kooky art I personally enjoyed with someone who also resonated with the same type of beauty. I realized I as a girl could do whatever the fuck I wanted; I could do a job stereotypically done by a man and do it better. Since then I’ve wanted to become a tattoo artist.

I enjoy doing cybersigilism, silhouettes, dotwork, and the weirdest possible art.

I’ve dabbled in all types of painting including watercolor, acrylic, and graffiti but absolutely love oil painting. I’ve experimented with charcoals and pastels, but when it comes to sketching my ideas, I prefer to sketch with crayons, colored pencils, and pens. 

Jean-Michel Basquiat has been one of my favorite artists for a long time as well as Anna Mendieta and her earthwork effigies. My endless admiration goes out to tattoo artists in portland, california, new york, and korea who post amazing work on instagram such as @lo000my @holymoment_ @sindarrrr and @eternaladournment

I’ve tried my hand at reupholstering furniture, jewelry making, metalwork, carpentry, sewing, crocheting, and am always looking for a new project to throw myself at. I love to read, have solo dance parties, sing, play video games, and learn fun facts.

In my free time i like to draw, which is great for this job, play games with friends and family, explore new places and surround myself in nature, go on road trips, window shop, and pet dogs and cats. 

I’d go as far under the ocean as I could; sea animals are crazy down there. The sea has been one of my recent hyper fixations and I would love to go in giant robot armor (a submarine) and get to see these nutso creepy cool creatures with some protection between us.
