About
My Background
I grew up in a small town in southwestern Oklahoma, and originally started out as a crafter. My grandmother taught me how to sew and write cursive at a young age. My sibling taught me beadwork and how to draw. At age 11, I started martial arts and continued training for 10 years- eventually earning both my first and second degree blackbelt. I contribute much of my confidence and skillset to this training, and have always taken inspiration from everything my instructors taught me.
​
At 15, I did my first tattoo on my sibling and fell in love with the world of body art. I continued drawing and hand-poking tattoos on myself and my bestfriend until I was able to earn an apprenticeship at Impact Ink Tattoo Studio in 2020. I've dedicated myself to tattooing ever since, and I wouldn't change it for the world. I am eternally grateful for the art of tattooing, and everything it has given me.
​
Tattooing has made me comfortable and confident in my own body. Tattooing has given me invaluable human connection. Tattooing has given me a home, a family, and a purpose. I would be nothing without tattooing, and I would be nothing without the amazing humans that allow me to tattoo them. Thanks for being here, and being a part of my journey.
