Was there a specific moment you realized tattooing could be your life?
I don’t think there was one specific moment. I was a chef for a long time, on and off. I realized I wasn’t in love with that anymore and asked myself what I wanted to do.
Being creative and being an artist is something I’ve always loved. I had tried to sell artwork with some success, but it wasn’t enough to make a living. Since I like tattoos and have them myself, I wondered if I could make a living as a tattoo artist. Once I realized it was a viable avenue, I pivoted and pushed hard to get where I am today.
