My journey into tattooing..
During my first year at college, I discovered a love for drawing portraits in my spare time. Even though I was focused on studying human physiology, I dabbled in various hobbies. From starting a makeup artistry business to creating content for a YouTube channel, my creative ventures knew no bounds. As I delved into commission work like graphite drawings and customizing shoes, I never expected it would lead me to an apprenticeship opportunity. The summer of 2021 saw me beginning my journey into tattooing, and since then, I fully committed to this path. Thats my response when people ask me, "How did you get into tattooing?"

What’s my why?
My purpose behind what I do is inspired by my younger cousins and the youth in my community.

It is crucial not to fear seeking and cultivating one's God-given skills. These skills can serve not only oneself but also others, ultimately leading us to fulfill our purpose.
