Bio: I grew up in Huntington Beach right near the water and moved to the straight desert Las Vegas when I was 10. I go back and forth a lot but my love for the ocean never changed which is why I have two full water sleeves. I didn’t start getting tattooed until I was 18, but my obsession with it started quickly. Traditional is my favorite style and developed into painting and drawing flash as a hobby even though I have no desire to tattoo as a career. Growing up in Vegas has led me to working within the Industry for quite a while and I absolutely love it! Ive worked at Vince Neil Ink, Cary Harts Bar Wasted Space, and am now happily settled at the corporate office Lightgroup which owns Jet Nightclub and Bare pool. I guess you could say I live that typical Vegas lifestyle where theres never a shortage on fun to be had or places to go. I would rather curl up with my sketchbooks and horror movies over raging any day though.
Being a tattooed female has had its ups and downs but has led me to modeling and great opportunities! Traveling, amazing people, great connections, money, and an all around great life that I wouldnt trade for anything!
