​
I studied Fine Art & Psychology n Rhode Island, USA, where I discovered my passion for large scale charcoal drawing and painting of figure-realism. I have since evolved to the art of Tattoo. I learned to tattoo in Long Beach, CA for several years under my gifted mentor, Jake Masri. I proceeded to receive my Tattoo lIcense in Rhode Island and opened my main private studio in Warren, RI. I also provide intuitive tattoo & therapeutic tattoo sessions. I offer these services to my clients via The Therapeutic Tattoo Experience.
​
Inspired by European masters and Theology, I most enjoy taking the beauty of ancient mythological teachings, spiritual philosophies and beliefs, traditional symbols, etc. and blending it with one's personal touch and story. I would describe my work as complex, intense and intimate. My work has been described over the years as "raw, emotional and with much attention to detail".
​
I have focused primarily on small, precise fine line work, micro realism, Modern realism, and realism. I am known for being exceptionally light-handed and patient with my work. I pride myself on creating an experience for each client in which they will not feel rushed, pressured, anxious or uncomfortable. Many first-time tattoo customers are referred for this reason. I specialize in female skin- meaning I have studied and trained to avoid blow outs, scarring and unnecessary skin damage that is often caused to sensitive skin types.
I am a proud supporter of Equal Rights & Mental Health Awareness. I am a HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) and an Empath. I am an artist and a proud Lesbian woman. I live a life of emotional sobriety and extend that support to my clients. Growing up as a creative, unique, introverted child- I seek to create a peaceful environment for those who are hyper-sensitive to stimuli. I hope to create a moving experience for those who come to me still struggling, grieving, or transitioning in their journey. I seek out projects in which I can aid in the healing, therapuetic process of receiving a tattoo. I believe my purpose is to create art that is empowering, beautiful and sacred.
