How long have you been tattooing professionally?
I've been tattooing professionally for 4 years with Ink Couture Tattoos. My roots began in permanent cosmetics, where I developed precision, attention to detail, and a deep respect for skin as an artistic medium. Shortly after, I earned the opportunity to apprentice in tattooing-opening the door to a wider world of artistic expression.

What inspired you into the art of tattooing?
I started in the field of permanent cosmetics, where precision and technique are critical. That foundation taught me discipline and gave me a love for enhancing natural features.

From there, that same year I pursued an apprenticeship with the brand. Eventually learning the true value of my craft.

What is your preferred style of work?
I work across four primary styles:

Fineline - clean, delicate linework perfect for elegant, minimalist designs.
Black & Grey - smooth shading and contrast for objects, florals, and timeless motifs.
Color - bold, vibrant pieces that stand out and hold their clarity over time.
Watercolor - painterly designs that look like brushstrokes on the skin, blending fluid colors for a unique effect.

What other styles are you known for?
I am also excited to practice customized realism and 3D tattoos, combining my fine detail skills with depth and lifelike dimension, aiming to create tattoos that feel alive and timeless.

What inspires you as an artist?
I draw inspiration from nature, animals, plants, and organic textures, but also from human emotion and storytelling. Each tattoo is a collaboration-my goal is to merge your vision with my style for something meaningful and long lasting.

Why should someone choose you for their next tattoo/ to be their artist?
I care deeply about both artistry and a professional experience. My background in permanent cosmetics taught me precision and client care, and my tattooing journey has been about pushing boundaries-whether it's clean Fineline detail, bold color, or lifelike realism. With me, you're not just getting a tattoo-you're getting a piece of artwork crafted to last internally and externally.
