✦ Behind the Scenes ✦

Where the magic takes shape before the ink touches skin

Welcome to my journal — a soft landing space where I share the process, the inspiration, the quiet moments, and the sometimes chaotic, very human behind-the-scenes of being a tattoo artist, single parent, and studio visionary.

This is where I take you with me — into my sketchbook, my thoughts, my rituals, and the messy, meaningful beauty of building something with soul.

I update this journal when I’m inspired, not on a strict schedule. Thank you for being here — it means the world to me to create with intention, not urgency.
