Hi! I’m a Fine Line Tattoo Artist based in Tacoma, Washington, currently working at Level Up Studio.

I moved here in May 2025, but I’m originally from Las Vegas, where I still visit often to see family, friends, and occasionally do guest spots.

I began tattooing in September 2023 after taking Cherie’s Fine Line Tattoo Classes and completed my apprenticeship with her in September 2024 at Kensho Ink Studio in Las Vegas. Cherie, a talented Fine Line Artist, played a huge role in my growth and continues to be a big source of inspiration. During my apprenticeship, I explored different styles, and with Cherie’s guidance and encouragement, I was able to find models, experiment creatively, and grow through hands-on experience. I’m forever grateful she believed in me.

Since moving, I’ve joined Level Up Studio, and I’m incredibly excited to be part of this new team and family. Special thanks to Lenisa, who welcomed me in and encouraged me to grow in a whole new environment. What makes Level Up so unique is how active the studio is in pop-up events, these are booked months in advance and bring such a fresh energy to the tattooing experience. It’s a whole new chapter for me, and I already know it’s going to be a fun and inspiring ride!

Today, I know I still have so much to learn, and I truly believe every day is an opportunity to practice, grow, and connect through art.

Outside the studio, you can usually find me exploring new coffee shops (iced coffee in hand!), relaxing with a view, or diving into a new anime or Korean drama. I’m totally obsessed with Kaonashi from Spirited Away and absolutely love anything Studio Ghibli!

Thank you so much for your interest in my work. I’m honored you’re here, and I’m excited to create something meaningful with you.
