In over 5 years of tattooing I’ve gained deep reverence for the body and how sacred permanent ink is. I’d like to share some perspective behind tattooing so you can better understand who I am and my approach as an artist.

What makes tattoos intentional?

Energetic Imprinting

A tattoo isn't just art on the skin. Imprinting relates to the transference of a design onto one's energetic field.
 
As we are calling certain patterns and symbols, it's essential to be mindful of the design, environment, those we're around and more, as all of these factors affect our tattoo and the energy it carries.

When done with awareness and alignment, a tattoo can carry potency and bring forth beautiful transformation.

Spiritual Hygiene

Throughout this exchange, it is essential to practice good physical and spiritual hygiene.

This involves keeping clear of residual energies, taking care of physical and mental wellbeing, cleansing the space and establishing clear energetic boundaries.

This ensures the client will be safe, comfortable and receive the best quality tattoo.

Conscious Programming

It is an artist's responsibility to infuse the tattoo with good intent, holding presence and with each stroke.

Due to the potency of this process, every session is an opportunity to imbed the client's intention and positive energy into the tattoo.

If we can stay in integrity with this process, tattoos can carry even more meaning, power and activation.

Why my process is unique

Integrity

I value clear communication with all of my clients. Its important to keep an open dialogue, as I understand many things can change or surface during this process.

I aim to create art that flows with the body and be honest about every design and idea. I welcome feedback, and genuinely strive to be the best I can be for every client, no how big or small the piece.

Intentionality

I bring awareness towards what is going into your skin beyond just the tattoo.

 

I hold this exchange in complete reverence, offering prayers of protection for both parties. It is important that this process is of the light and our highest alignment.

Intricacies

I take pride in the quality of my work and the thousands of hours I've devoted towards my craft.

A lot of my work includes fine line and intricate dot work, and with that, every second matters. Presence is one of my pillars. I strive to create art that will hold up well over time and genuinely feel empowering.
