about me
I began tattooing in Springfield, Illinois in 2014. After completing an apprenticeship and tattooing four years in my home state, I traveled from 2018-2020 as a guest artist in more than 25 different tattoo studios throughout the United States and Europe. I now call Portland, OR home and work from my appointment-only studio in the Kerns neighborhood, Three Hounds Tattoo.
Apart from tattooing I enjoy spending time with my dog Bowie and hiking the mossy PNW forests with my partner and fellow tattooer Ryan.
Creatively, I’m currently exploring and developing skills in ceramics. I love spending hours shaping and carving clay while my mind wanders.
My most predominant hobby is functional fitness and exploring different ways to move and strengthen my body while having fun. I most enjoy group classes-there’s something really powerful about moving with and encouraging others with shared goals. Current favorites include kickboxing, rhythm-based indoor cycling, pilates, and strength training.
Supporting other local makers, craftspeople, and small businesses is really important to me. Here are some of my favorite places and people in Portland:
