I’m a multidisciplinary tattoo artist and painter based in Austin, Texas, and the owner of Art Realm Tattoo. I was born in Philadelphia and moved to Texas as a kid. Spent time back and forth as a teenager and even spent some time living in Alaska. My connection to art began early through drawing, painting, and other creative outlets.
Tattooing caught my attention when I was a kid. My mom loved getting tattooed (and still does), I often went with her to different shops. Being around that environment made a strong impression on me, and I spent a lot of time flipping through tattoo magazines and studying the artwork.
At nineteen, I began taking tattooing seriously and started learning the craft with real focus. In 2008, I moved to Austin to pursue tattooing full time, continuing to refine my skills through steady practice, private study, and guidance from artists I respect.
Today I’m grateful that I get to do what I love for a living. I work on projects of all sizes and approach each one with intention and attention to detail. My goal is to create tattoos that feel personal, well designed, and meaningful to the people who wear them.
When I’m not tattooing, I paint and stay involved in creative projects that keep me inspired. Art has always been a constant in my life, and I bring that same energy and dedication into every tattoo I create.
