I love tattooing anything with bold colors, fun textures, or in an illustrative style. My inspiration comes from my favorite animated movies, shows, illustrated books, games, and nature. When I'm not tattooing, I love to spend my time creating, reading, sewing, walking through the woods, playing video games, or hyperfocusing on a new hobby.
