I am constantly filled with gratitude for the opportunity to create art for a living. Here’s a quick look into my journey so far:
I’ve always been an artist at heart. I was born bursting with creativity, and have been painting, drawing and making art of all kinds my entire life.
I met my husband, Kyle, while getting a spontaneous tattoo. As I fell for him, I also fell in love with tattooing. It was especially exciting to see the possibility of a career in art after a lifetime of being told it wasn’t possible. Kyle and I opened Little Pricks Tattoo Studio in 2012, where I learned to tattoo. Together, we learned how to run a business while also building an amazing life together with our two children.
I’ve been tattooing non-stop since my apprenticeship was complete in 2013, and I have loved every minute of it. I have been blessed with a steady flow of fantastic clients. If you are reading this and are one of them, THANK YOU for giving me the privilege of tattooing you! This craft is nothing without the lovely skin you trust me with; I am humbled and honored by the opportunity to create art for you!
Over the years, I've tattooed a wide range of styles and subject matter. Colorful florals, watercolor, geometric, black and grey botanicals, animals, and bugs have become some of my favorites. I also enjoy chatting with fellow nerds over gamer, sci-fi, fantasy, and bookish tattoos! I love finding ways to make your ideas come to life, and I especially enjoy a challenge! Outside of tattooing and running our popular tattoo shop in Austin, Texas, I am a dedicated mother to my two amazing children. I enjoy reading, writing, gardening, cooking, and video games.
Again, I am beyond grateful to have such an amazing job. Thank you for taking the time to read about little old me! To those who have been tattooed by me before, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for making my art a part of your life! To those who plan to get tattooed by me in the future, THANK YOU for the honor of being considered to mark you permanently.
