Experiencing a tattoo session with me is a journey deeply rooted in mindfulness. From start to finish, the tattoo design unfolds during the session itself. I don't create pre-designs; instead, we discuss, draw, and approve the design directly on your skin with a marker. All I require is a basic concept, approximate size, and placement. The rest will emerge organically in the moment.

 

I approach tattooing (and art in general) as a form of storytelling. The process revolves around both the client and myself. To me, everything is a story. While describing your story to me, I pay close attention to your word choice, breathing, and demeanor. Even the unspoken words and underlying whispers carry significance. As I absorb your story, it interacts with my own stories, existence, and vibrations on multiple levels. This reaction manifests as a tattoo on your skin, a visual representation of your narrative.

 

Think of it as a parallel to the formation of rain. Heat evaporates water from the earth, transforming it into steam that rises and clings to dust particles in the sky. Tiny water droplets coalesce, forming clouds. Eventually, the water returns to the earth as rain. However, at a microscopic level, the water that falls is not identical to the water that initially evaporated.

 

Each of my tattoos captures a moment in time where your story intertwines with mine, only to be reflected back onto your skin as a permanent reminder. It encapsulates the truest essence of yourself and me, frozen in that special present moment.

 

Rather than viewing a tattoo as a permanent fixture, I prefer to see it as a unique mark left by history, accompanying us throughout our time in this physical vessel. It serves as a testament to a powerful feeling or conviction we held at a specific point in history.

 

Through my art, I aim to acknowledge, validate, and celebrate people as they are, regardless of how their journeys may evolve in the future. My passion lies in what brings us together in the present moment. Here. And. Now.
