What would you say is your favorite part of
the job? The diversity of people. I love meeting new people and forming relationships with regulars. I have met some pretty amazing people in this industry. Artists and clients. I love that I can be myself and not follow corporate standards. The tattoo world is like one big awesome family.
What was it that initially sparked your
interest in tattooing? I started designing tattoos to utilize my college degree to some extent. Eventually, I decided I should be the one tattooing my own art.
Who and what influences you to
create your work? I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t influenced by all the amazing artists all over social media. Sometimes, I’ll say, “Ooooh, I gotta try that.” Nature inspires me the most.
