Exciting New Chapter: A Personal & Professional Transition

To my incredible clients,

After much reflection, I’ve decided to close my tattoo studio. This change comes with two wonderful life developments: I’m focused on finishing my fine arts degree at USF, and my family is growing as we prepare to welcome our fifth child!

As you can imagine these exciting changes are also demanding of my time and attention. While I won’t be running my own shop anymore, I’m thrilled to announce that I will still be tattooing select projects and doing what I love. I’ll now be working alongside my former mentor, Litos, in his studio Forbidden Images. This new chapter allows me to focus on both my family and my passion for art, without the demands of business ownership.

For those wanting to schedule future tattoos, you can continue to book with me directly, either through text or my contact form. Thank you all for your continued trust, support, and love throughout the years—I look forward to creating more incredible art with you!
