TATTOO

ABOUT / PREREQUISITE

Every tattoo is a slow and considerate collaboration between myself and the wearer.

A discovery of what symbols and imagery already lay beneath the surface ready to arise. 

​

Every tattoo is also a practice in patience, and release to the process.

A practice in letting go of perfectionism, and grasping onto deeper meaning, living memories, intense sensations, and the transformative power this process can be.

 

I have been learning to tattoo by hand and machine with the guidance of many skilled teachers, but a great deal of my time spent discovering this craft has been on my own.

​

I do not create perfection

nor do I aim to create perfection

Every tattoo is a unique expression of both the wearer and my hand, meaning...

​

* sometimes lines differ in darkness.

*sometimes lines have unexpected wobbles.

* sometimes lines don't match up where we'd planned.

* sometimes lines fall out, and sometimes they spread out.

* sometimes the skin scars, and sometimes the result is exactly as we planned.

​

If this experience is not what you are interested in or open to, then I am not the artist for you at this time.
