My passion for art began in childhood, leading me to an apprenticeship with industry veteran Ernie White in 1999. After 13 years with Ernie and working with talented artists locally, I’ve continuously grown in my craft.
Initially uncertain about college, I started tattooing and piercing thanks to my uncle’s recommendation. Discovering I could turn my love for art into a career, I became a single mom, which further motivated my success.
I built a clientele on the west coast and have loyal clients nationwide. My work has been published in magazines, and I’ve contributed to shops winning “Best of” contests. Etched in Ink is a top contender for Sussex County’s best shop in 2024.
In 2020, I opened my own shop to teach, lead, and create a supportive environment for artists and clients.
Encouraged by my family, I’ve always embraced creativity. As tattoos gained mainstream acceptance, I’ve loved creating meaningful and artistic tattoos for clients.
Adapting to trends, I began digital drawing in 2017, allowing easy edits and previews for clients. I continually learn and evolve, committed to my art and the tattoo community.
