Tattooer based in Austin, TX.
Private studio, by appointment only.
Intro
I began my apprenticeship in April of 2021 with Dylan at Companion Tattoo. Prior to snagging my apprenticeship, I’ve been a graphic designer for 10 years and a lifelong artist. My apprenticeship ended in January of 2022. I completed my apprenticeship in January of 2023.
Style
I’m still figuring myself and my style out — but I’m currently leaning into medium-fine illustrative linework. I also enjoy pointillism within realistic botanical and neotraditional themes. I am comfortable with black work and some black & grey, but am open to projects with limited color to learn more.
I love queer stuff, 90s country and cats.
My CV
I grew up doing art and studied graphic design at Texas State University. I’ve held a variety of professional design positions in advertising, marketing, and startups both in NYC and Austin. I’ve always had an affinity for tattoos and have been getting tattooed by as many people as often as I can since I turned 18. Getting tattooed in Austin led me to Dylan and, in turn, Companion Tattoo.
In addition, I also co-run an LGBTQIA+ clothing brand called FLAVNT Streetwear with my twin brother. Feel free to check out our stuff at flavnt.com to support some local queers.
