I’m currently apprenticing under Mari (@Lilgutz) at Les. I work with the machine but still take custom handpoke pieces when requested!

I love to do custom ornamentals and Japanese textiles large or small. My love for the folklore in my culture is apparent in my personal art and is now reflecting in my flash designs! I hope to find others who love Yokai and Japanese art and want to express it with tattoos.

I’ve always loved art but I never thought I’d be able to do art full time as a career. This apprenticeship has been such a blessing and I am forever grateful for the opportunity, my mentor and the artists in the shop that have been so inspiring and supportive. 
My goal in each session is to create a comfortable and fun environment! I want every client to feel that they can take their time when we’re figuring out placement/sizing and feel seen and heard. My family and I have a background in the practice of Reiki and I want nothing more than to implement the core values of this practice in tattooing. I believe in the power of intention and I aim for love to be put into every piece that I do. I hope to create a healthy and safe line of communication with everyone coming in to get tattooed so that they feel safe coming to me about their ideas or concerns before and after our session! 

I have ADHD and working meticulously works well with my brain! I don’t have a specific style yet and I’m stoked to explore various types of tattooing, including Tebori!

Outside of the shop I love cooking, family time, video games, and obsessing over a new project every month <3
