I create large-scale abstract blackwork built in direct collaboration with the client and their body. No flash. No replicas. Each piece is composed specifically for the individual form using heavy black, intentional negative space, and bold movement.

My process begins with either an intake form or conversation to make sure I'm the right fit for the project. If I am able to glean all the necessary info from it, I will have you schedule an appointment with my online booking system. You will then book a consultation (done over zoom) 1-2 weeks before your tattoo appointment. I do not email drawings/sketches at any point in the process.

On the day of your appointment we begin by applying your design. This process is a combination of me drawing or painting directly onto your body, and using stencils. This part is collaborative. There is always space and time to adjust the design. This also allows us to make sure it fits YOUR body and shape perfectly.

Getting a tattoo is a big deal and my process is not right for everyone. I strongly encourage you to go with your gut. If this process sounds exciting, we're a match! I always encourage you to find an artist whose design process feels good for you.

Pricing

I offer two flat-rate session options:

✦ Half Day 3 hours—$900

✦Full Day 6 hours —$1800


No tips are accepted — my pricing reflects the full value of the work, including design, preparation, tattooing, artistry, and care. Sessions may occasionally run beyond the allotted time at no additional cost, so you always know the investment upfront with no guessing or awkward math. This structure allows us to fully focus on creating the large-scale, immersive pieces that are my specialty without rushing the process. Whether we move through the work in focused sessions or dedicate a full day to tattooing, my intention is to create something that lives only on you.
