What up council,
Got to do this mermaid piece right before my client deploys overseas. The blue hair was inspired by his wife, and with 6 kids, these two are VERY in love lol. Praying God keeps him safe and brings him home to his family soon.

What up council,
This little framed tree was so fun to do. soft black & grey, tiny ornaments, and all the cozy nostalgic vibes. Honestly I wish it could be Christmas all the time.

What up council,
This sleeve is a reminder that your story and even your tattoos can be used for something bigger.

My sister-in-law has been using this piece to open conversations about her faith and share the truth of Jesus.

Every detail points back to Him—from the name of God in Hebrew, to the Lion of Judah, to scripture, the empty tomb, and even her daughter represented as a prayer warrior walking in faith.

It’s been so humbling to be a part of something like this.



If you believe, don’t hide it. You never know who’s watching or who needs to hear it. 🖤

What up council,

Some healed // some fresh

So many tiny shapes, so many little sections that all had to hit the same smooth value… no shortcuts anywhere. Pieces like this are all about patience—taking the time to make everything flow evenly so it reads clean from a distance but still holds up close.

Huge thank you to my client for trusting the process and never rushing me. That kind of trust is what allows tattoos like this to come out the way they should. This isn’t fast work—it’s intentional work.

I love getting to slow down and really build something like this.

If you’re into detailed black & grey like this, I’m booking 🖤

What up council,
That quiet moment before the chaos.

I love doing little movie scenes like this—Joker walking away, mask in hand.

What up council,
The Three Sisters—corn, beans, and squash—aren’t just crops, they work together.
The corn grows tall and gives the beans something to climb.
The beans feed the soil.
The squash spreads out and protects everything underneath.

They all need each other to really thrive.

There’s something really beautiful about that—just taking care of each other and keeping things in balance

I love doing pieces like this, My grandfather is full Cherokee, so every time I get to do indigenous imagery like this it feels like I’m staying connected to that part of my family and where I come from.

What up council,

30 years of creating, shaping, building—these tools aren’t just objects, they’re a lifetime of work, skill, and dedication. Worn in all the right places.

I love getting to turn something this personal into something permanent.

If you’ve got a story like this, let’s make it into something you can carry forever.

Booking May 🖤

What up council,
Took a real memory and built her happy place around it.
A quiet moment with her grandpa, reimagined with the mountains, trees, and a fishing pole—everything that made it feel like home 🤍
Now she gets to carry that feeling with her forever.
Swipe to see where it started.

What up council,
She came in with a really specific vision for this one and brought some inspiration photos that helped guide the direction. I love when clients have a clear idea but still trust me to bring it all together.

This piece is the start of a full sleeve, combining elements that are meaningful to her and building a story that will keep evolving as we add more. Designing the flow of a sleeve from the very first piece is always one of my favorite parts of the process.

Really excited to keep building this one out.
