A woman once asked me to tell her something about myself. I said, "Well... I'm short." She laughed, but also said that was a good thing - because I didn't define myself by my job.

I grew up all over the East Coast, primarily in Florida and New Jersey.

I drew my first tattoo for a girl when I was 16. When she had it done, I was blown away - and I guess I've been hooked since then. I got my own first tattoo when I was 20, and now they just keep on getting bigger.

I broke into the field by drawing sheets of flash. One day it clicked in my head that I could be DOING the tattoos instead of just drawing them. That thought became my goal. I can be pretty persistant when I want to be :) To make a long story short, I've been tattooing since Fall of 2002.

Vibrant colors and fun designs are my favorite things to tattoo, everything from ultra-girly swirls to skulls.

I love what I do and wouldn't want to imagine doing anything else.
