I’m a tattoo artist based in Denver, Colorado. I specialize in fine-line black and grey tattoos and microrealism, with a particular love for portraits, expressive faces, and the little details that make something feel alive.

I started tattooing in 2021. I’m self-taught, and for a long time, that came with a lot of second-guessing. I wondered whether I belonged in this industry or whether I was just figuring things out as I went. The truth is, I was figuring things out. I still am. But I’ve come to appreciate how much that process has shaped my work and the way I approach learning.

That path took me to Elysium Studios in Grand Junction, owned by Ryan Ashley and Arlo DiCristina. I stayed through its final chapter as the last resident artist, and I did the very last tattoo before the studio closed. That’s a part of my story I’ll always carry with me.

Now I’m building my next chapter in Denver, doing work I care about and continuing to grow as an artist. I love getting absorbed in a drawing, working through the details, and turning an idea into something someone gets to carry with them.

I feel incredibly lucky that this is what I get to do for a living. Thanks for being here and taking a look at my work.
