I started tattooing in Portland, Oregon in 2015 and worked at a few shops there until moving to Missoula in 2021. Being from North Dakota I was ready to leave the city and move closer to my hometown, but without going all the way back to ND. Having many friends all around western MT has made the transition smooth and working at MTC has allowed me to generate a wonderful clientele in a short time.

Outside of tattooing, I paint, draw, and craft lots of subjects but I seem to always drift back to Mother Nature as inspiration. My favorites are birds, bugs, and plants, but I’m always down to draw any critter you’d like! I also spend time gardening and doing all sorts of outdoor activities with my partner Derek, as well as spending plenty of time cuddling with my two kitties, Blueberry and Loui. We are all very excited to be in Missoula and I’m so happy to be tattooing here with the great crew at MTC.

Above, you will find a smattering of the type of work I typically do. Some of my favorite things to tattoo are flowers, animals, nature & botanical things, your pet's cute face, mandalas, art nouveau elements, anything cute, etc. bonus points if you get a couple of those subjects together. I would describe my tattooing style as illustrative/neo-traditional. I very much believe in a black outline around every tattoo, I promise it keeps your tattoo looking better for a longer period of time. I favor some good black shading but like to use fine detail lines to make your tattoo more dynamic. I have no preferences between black & grey or color tattoos; it's on your body so that is up to your style preferences. My range goes from dark black everything to bright bubblegum cuteness, both of them are equally fun for mean present their own quirks.

For me, tattoos are a chance to decorate and stylize your skin. I strive to do tattoos that make my clients feel beautiful in their own skin, and I love when a new tattoo turns self-consciousness into self confidence, and if that means redecorating part of your body with a new piece then you are in the right place! I tattoo all bodies and all skin tones and I hope to make your tattoo experience as welcoming and as comfortable as possible.

Neo-traditional, stippling, illustrative realism, color, and black and grey!

I work Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays usually! I occasionally will have other days open up if my schedule is unique that week and I am also willing to discuss picking up work on my days off at a higher hourly rate.

Generally I do half days (3-4 hours) or full day appointments. My hourly rate is $160/hour for the time being.
