My interest in the art of tattooing began while attending Vassar College in New York’s scenic Hudson Valley. While nurturing my passion for tattoo art, I studied Chinese and Japanese literature and art in New York, Los Angeles, and Beijing before graduating with a BA in Asian Studies. My background studying Chinese and Japanese art has greatly influenced my art style, which friends and family have dubbed “Gothic Kawaii.”

I enjoy tattooing anime and video game designs, beautiful ladies, cats, plants, and anything spooky! When not in the shop, I can be found making jewelry, cuddling with my precious children (my cats), and writing poetry in the moonlight while sipping wine.
