Q: Are there styles you prefer to work with? A: Yes, however I do love to play around with new techniques and push myself to grow as an artist. The styles I’ve been loving recently include: blackwork, bold lines with fine details, script/text, whimsical, witchcraft, fantasy, stipple/pepper shading, (and much more) Q: Are there themes you love tattooing? A: BUGSS 🐛🪲🐌🦗🕷️(flora and fauna), fantasy, pop culture, and swords/knives/ancient weaponry. I have new flash always in the works so I try to keep new ideas flowing and love to hear new inspiration Q: What do you love to do outside of tattooing? A: I love to create always, it doesn’t have to be tattoos as long as my mind is able to make things I feel happy. Prints, paintings, beaded jewelry, sewing, gardening, makeup, dying my hair (or friend’s hair), being in nature to find inspiration and joy, and decorating my spaces. I love to play games although I haven’t played much recently, Witcher 3, Skyrim, Minecraft, and animal crossing had me by a chokehold throughout my teen and college years. Q: What’s somethings people don’t expect about you? A: I trained in American kenpo for 5 years and got up to my advanced brown belt before I switched to volleyball which I also did for 5 years. I initially went to college for environmental engineering before switching to graphic design, then finally accepted the fact tattooing has always been my dream job. I’ve met Serj Tankian, the lead singer of System of a Down. #pnwtattoo #oregontattoo #secretcicadatattoo #queertattoo #queertattooartist
