History: A bit about me…I’m an artist from Detroit City! As a kid I was always drawing for fun and was a Face Painter in the Circus with my family. I went to art school at Wayne State University and College for Creative Studies, then worked as an artist in the skateboard world in California and as an Industrial Designer in Detroit.
I transitioned from Design to Fine Art and teaching art, to Body Art and Make Up Artistry to Tattooing. I’ve been a working artist for 30 years.
I did my tattoo apprenticeship at West Coast Tattoo Parlor in Las Vegas. Since being home in Michigan I’ve enjoyed tattooing at HeArt Synergy Studios and My Little Needle Tattoo as well as guest spotting around Wayne and Washtenaw County.
I love tattooing. Body modification and adorning ones body is a beautiful act and I’m honored to share and hold a space with you as your artist. I value making the experience safe and welcoming for everyone.
