MY STORY
Since 2022, I have been living my dream and creating tattoos. I completed my apprenticeship at Figure 9 Studio in the Waikato, and now continue my journey in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington. Beyond the creative challenge and fulfillment of this craft, my favourite aspect of tattooing is the absolute joy of meeting people from all walks of life, collaborating to adorn their body, hearing their stories, and providing a gentle experience in which I hope everyone can be comfortable.
I spent my childhood in Nelson and finished my teen years in Wellington, going on to study at Victoria University. I have been drawing since I could hold a pencil, and am so excited to continue evolving within the tattoo and art world, and through the creative concepts my clients bring to me.
When I am not tattooing or drawing, you can find me exploring nature, crocheting, reading, or baking a very nice lemon-raspberry loaf. Beyond tattooing and drawing, I also have a background in painting, printmaking, and other crafts - which I also aim to give time to on this website, so keep an eye out!
