a bit about me
I’m a Westside Detroit native and lifelong artist, now tattooing at Crimson & Gold Tattoo Co. in Ferndale, Michigan. My work blends pop culture, nostalgia, anime and Afro Americana themes — with a nod to traditional tattooing and the styles that shaped me. I also love working on blackwork, small lettering, and soft black and grey pieces.
As a certified member of the Alliance of Professional Tattooists (APT), I’m committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety and professionalism.
Whether it’s flash or custom, I focus on delivering clean, lasting tattoos you’re excited to wear — and an experience you can feel good about.
If you’d like a bit more background on my approach and how I got here, I spoke about it in a feature with Voyage Michigan. You can check it out below!
