My passion for art began at a young age. Being poor and raised by a single mother; drawing and writing were my outlets.
Soon art took a backseat to a series of poor choices that landed me in federal prison at 30 years old for a 5 year prison sentence. My choices got everything I loved taken from me. Alone with no one but my thoughts to keep me company, my love for art then rekindled! I then spent the next few years taking art, business, and substance abuse education classes! At the end of my sentence, I picked up my first tattoo machine literally fell in love!!

My first couple years upon release I spent researching tattoo machines and techniques while diving deeper into this new found passion!! One day I was getting a tattoo and just clicked with my artist upon our first meeting. In the year that followed, I was offered an official apprenticeship, and there my professional journey began January 2016!
Starting my 8th year in this industry as well as my 3rd year owning my own shop, I am beyond AMAZED at what this “Art Life” has done for me and my family!! My son was my first apprentice and runs our family shop with me! With more family to follow in our footsteps it’s a dream come true!!
The love of Art has helped me to not only heal, but also break the negative cycle that was my life for years!
This “Ink Life” is my PASSION!!
