Author of My Own Fairytale 📖✨

​Another piece officially added to the collection. I love having this reminder on my own body that we don't need saving—we build our own kingdoms, fight our own battles, and wear our crowns proudly. 🖤

"The pain that's hidden and the beauty that's shown🐅"

Progress report on the leg project. 👁️

​Tattooing your own skin requires a lot of patience, positioning hacks, and focus, but it’s the absolute best way to experiment and test your limits. Featured here are two of the many bigger tattoos I've done on myself as part of this ongoing leg work.
​Building out the bold text and graphic lines of the mouth piece, paired with the split face portrait and fine lines transitioning right below it, has been an incredible layout journey.

Every old tattoo tells a story, but sometimes it’s time to start a new chapter. 📖✒️

​For this project, my customer wanted to completely cover up a previous tattoo they were ready to move past. We designed this new piece to seamlessly blast over the old ink, blending it into their existing sleeve work perfectly. This design was made with no shading included, a fine line cover up , made simply to tailor my customer.

​Take a look at the photo to see the final piece. Message me to book your session! 📩

Choosing Strength, Embracing Joy, and Finding Purpose ✨

Welcome To My World🌏​ Come and join me on my New Journey🥰
I am a 26-year-old proud mama to three beautiful children—including my incredibly resilient little preemie graduate—and partner to an amazing, caring man who motivates and supports me daily❤️
​My journey to this point hasn't been a straight line. I’ve walked through a heavy amount of trauma and life-altering experiences, but I made a choice early on: I refused to let my past define my future✒️ Instead, I channeled that energy into staying strong, keeping a positive mindset, and building a life filled with purpose. This space is a reflection of that resilience, my passion for tattooing, and the beautiful, supportive circle that keeps me grounded. Thank you for being part of my story! 🤍
