EMINENCE INK ARTIST SINCE AUGUST 2022
From a young age, I’ve been captivated by the art of self-expression, and it’s something I deeply believe in as a way to empower people to confidently embrace their authentic selves. Body art, whether it’s tattoos or piercings, is one of the most bold and powerful ways to show the world who you are. It's an incredible form of recognition—one that celebrates personal strength, transformation, and individuality. Tattoos aren’t just marks on the skin to me; they are stories, memories, and milestones that people choose to carry with them for a lifetime.
Growing up, I was always surrounded by art. I’ve always loved to draw, and it’s this passion for creating and capturing emotions on paper that naturally led me to pursue a career as a tattoo artist. I come from a rich background with strong connections to my Mohegan heritage, and my cultural roots play a vital role in my art. I’ve always been drawn to designs that have a personal and meaningful connection to my clients. Whether it’s a custom design inspired by one’s heritage, a bold traditional piece, or an illustrative work, I make it a priority to bring each person’s story and vision to life in a way that feels authentic. My diverse style allows me to take on everything from traditional tattoos to more intricate realism and delicate illustrative designs, ensuring that each piece is tailored specifically to the person wearing it.
One of the most fulfilling aspects of my career is the relationships I build with my clients. I’ve always enjoyed making friends and connecting with others on a deeper level. I strive to create an environment where clients feel completely at ease. Tattoos can be an intimidating process for some, so I work hard to break down that barrier by offering a calm and welcoming space. I take the time to listen to their ideas, educate them on the process, and work collaboratively to bring their vision to life. It’s all about making sure they feel confident, informed, and comfortable every step of the way.
As an artist, I believe it’s important to not just create great tattoos but also help clients recognize and understand the true power behind their decisions. I pride myself on making each session not only about the artwork but also about the experience—one that leaves my clients feeling empowered, uplifted, and excited about their new piece.
Outside of tattooing, I’m always working on my own personal growth as an artist and as an individual. I’m constantly seeking new ways to expand my skills and deepen my knowledge, whether through learning new techniques, studying art, or connecting with other artists. It’s a lifelong journey, and I’m excited to continue growing.
For me, tattooing is about more than just creating art; it’s about honoring the journey of the person in front of me. It’s about making sure that every piece is a true reflection of their strength, identity, and self-expression. Tattoos are a beautiful way to mark the moments that matter most, and I’m so grateful to be a part of that process.
