I love to create art to showcase the beauty in people and things. I love giving people the confidence they deserve to have.

My favorite kind of art is tattooing, specifically stipple work. The patience, focus, and love I put into all my work. Tattooing is my favorite because I feel the confidence people get when they see the finished product. People call it tattoo therapy, it heals them. I get the same satisfaction from tattooing as they do. Creating something from their and my imagination is a beautiful thing. Seeing the light and life it gives my clients is my favorite.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration from life. Whether it’s their story or mine, we find a way to intertwine our stories into a piece of art. I am given the concept and I put my own personal touch into their visions. Life inspires is to tell our stories through artwork they are able to showcase for the rest of their lives.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the money to invest in my career. I also dreamt of opening my own tattoo shop and helping other grow as artist as well. I would love to open a space where people feel comfortable and safe to come to me and other to get their work done. I would love to invest some money into a mobile tattoo trailer and travel across the country and share my talent to those who don’t have the opportunity to travel to me.
