Creating a Safe, Supportive, and Empowering Tattoo Experience in the Willamette Valley

Getting a tattoo is more than just something you buy, it’s an experience, a process, and often a meaningful moment of self-expression. Over the years, many clients have shared stories about negative or uncomfortable encounters with other tattoo artists: moments when they felt rushed, unheard, judged, or even unsafe.

As a professional tattoo artist, hearing these stories is always disheartening. Tattooing is an intimate art form, and the energy shared during a session can shape how you feel about your tattoo for years to come.

This is why I’ve made it my mission to offer something different.

My private studio is designed intentionally calm, comfortable, and grounded. So clients can feel safe, seen, and respected from the moment they walk through the door.

I’ve done the emotional work to hold space for whatever may arise during your session, whether it’s excitement, fear, anxiety, or vulnerability. My approach is centered on your experience AND the final result.

When you’re in my chair, your experience matters just as much as the artwork.

Many people end up disliking a technically perfect tattoo simply because the artist treated them poorly or created an uncomfortable environment. On the other hand, a tattoo that may not be 100% “perfect” becomes a cherished memory when the experience was meaningful, supportive, and human.

My goal is to bring you the best of both worlds:
exceptional, high-quality tattooing delivered in a safe, grounded, and welcoming space.

If you’re looking for a tattoo artist who values safety, emotional awareness, and the deeper meaning behind your tattoo, I’d love to work with you.
