More About us

Sun and moon piece done this afternoon.

Clean lines. Balanced flow across the collarbone. Fit the body, not just the design.

All done in about 2 hours.

These are the kind of pieces that age well when they’re placed right and kept simple.

If you’ve been thinking about something like this, let’s build it properly.

Right now I’m working out of a dedicated private space in my home.

It’s clean, controlled, and set up to give each client a focused, one-on-one experience without the noise and rush of a busy shop.

At the same time, I’m in the process of building a standalone tattoo studio in my yard.
This next step is about creating a space that matches the level of care, intention, and quality I put into every piece.

More room. Better setup. Same standards.
I’m looking forward to sharing that process as it comes together.

For now, I’m still booking and working as usual.

If you’ve been thinking about getting something done, send me a message and let’s start planning it.

Not every tattoo experience is the same.
Every piece you see here follows the same process.

Clean design. Solid execution. Proper healing.
I’ve recently introduced what I call the Crisp Healing Standard.

Every client now leaves with aftercare ointment and foaming wash included, along with clear guidance on how to heal their tattoo properly.

No guessing. No buying random products. No shortcuts. Because the goal isn’t just a tattoo that looks good today. It’s one that still looks solid months and years from now.

If you’ve been thinking about getting something meaningful done, now is a good time to start.

Send me a message with your idea, placement, and size.

I’m always looking for ways to improve the way my work heals and holds up over time.
I’ve just introduced something new into my process, the Crisp Healing Standard.

Every tattoo now comes with aftercare ointment and a foaming wash included, along with clear guidance on how to use them properly.

No guessing. No figuring it out on your own. No extra trips to buy products.

This is about giving every piece the best chance to heal clean, settle properly, and last the way it should.

Because the tattoo doesn’t end when the session does. It ends when it heals right.
This is now part of every appointment going forward.

Same mindset. Different medium.

Just finished this 7” hand-engraved mirror. Every line cut by hand, no shortcuts, no second passes.

It’s the same approach I bring to tattooing. Clean execution, intentional design, and work built to last.

These pieces are a way to take that same level of care and create something permanent without skin.

I’ll be opening a limited number of custom engraving spots alongside tattoo bookings. These will be treated as premium custom work, not mass-produced pieces.

If you’re looking for something personal, whether on skin or glass, send me a message.

Simple concept. Strong presence.

Just finished this flame piece with a subtle glitter-style color packed into the fire. Clean lines, soft movement, and just enough detail to catch the light without overworking it.

Sometimes it doesn’t need to be complicated to stand out.

Placement, flow, and execution matter more than anything.

If you’ve been sitting on an idea like this, now’s a good time to bring it to life.

From concept… to stencil… to skin.
This Legend of Zelda Triforce piece was a fun one to bring to life. Taking an idea from reference art and translating it into something that flows with the body.

Power. Wisdom. Courage.
Not just symbols from a game, but values that resonate far beyond it.
Always grateful for the trust when someone lets me turn something meaningful into something permanent.

If you’ve got a piece in mind that you’ve been sitting on, I’d love to help you bring it into the real world.

Sometimes the simplest tattoos carry the biggest reminders.

I got to do this small lemon branch the other day, and the meaning behind it stuck with me.

The client shared that for her it’s a reminder that no matter how sour the lemons life gives you may be, you can always find a way to make something resembling lemonade.

Life doesn’t always get easier, but we can choose what we make out of it.

I’m always grateful when someone trusts me to help carry a piece of their story.

I’ve opened space over the next two weeks.

And I’m being intentional about what I fill it with.

I’m prioritizing meaningful builds,
sleeves, scar transformations, restorations, symbolic pieces.

The kind of work that carries weight.
The kind that isn’t rushed.
The kind that’s built properly.

Half-day and full-day sessions are available.

If you’ve been sitting on something important,
now’s a good time to stop thinking about it and start building it.

Fredericton — what are you ready to commit to?

There’s a difference between decoration and transformation.
Lately I’ve been paying attention to what kind of work truly moves me.
It’s not random ink.
It’s the pieces that mean something.
The scars turned into strength.
The sleeves built with intention.
The symbols that mark survival, growth, or rebirth.
That’s the work that carries weight.
Going forward, I’m intentionally prioritizing:
• Half-day and full-day builds
• Scar cover and restoration work
• Sleeve expansions
• Symbolic pieces rooted in meaning
I still enjoy small tattoos.
But the deeper work, the kind that changes how someone sees themselves, that’s where I feel called.
If you’ve been holding onto something meaningful…
Maybe it’s time to build it properly.
My chair is open for that kind of work.

Today I got to do more than just a tattoo.
This piece helped cover some scars,
but more importantly, it helped shift how my client sees themselves.
Scars tell a story.
So does ink.
Sometimes it’s not about hiding the past.
It’s about reclaiming it.
Taking something that once carried weight…
and turning it into something strong.
An anchor felt right for this one.
Steady. Grounded. Still here.
I don’t take moments like this lightly.
It’s an honour when someone trusts me with something that personal.
If you’ve been thinking about transforming a scar into something you’re proud to look at, my door’s open.

This hourglass skull was built around that exact idea.

February 22, 2006 to
February 22, 2026.

No drugs.
No alcohol.
No marijuana.
No shortcuts.

You do not stay clean for two decades by luck.
You do it by discipline.
You do it by surrender.
You do it by daily action when nobody is watching.

I built a family in that time.
I built a marriage.
I built a business with my own hands.
I buried people I love and stayed clean.
I survived accidents and stayed clean.

Recovery gave me clarity.
Clarity gave me purpose.
Purpose gave me direction.

If you are struggling, hear this clearly.
Change is possible.
But you have to commit when it is inconvenient.
You have to grow when it hurts.

Twenty years.
One day at a time.
Grateful. Grounded. Still doing the work.

Tattoos can be decoration.
They can also be reclamation.

For some, ink is about control. Meaning. Grounding. Identity.

Not a cure, but a choice. A voice. A step in healing.

Every piece should be intentional, consent-based, and created with care.

If this resonated, save it or share it. 🖤

From concept… to healed.

This piece was tattooed on August 2025.
Healed photo February 2026.

Six months later

No redness.
No filters.
Just structure.

This is why I talk about building things properly.
Clean lines.
Intentional shading.

Fresh tattoos impress people.
Healed tattoos build reputation.

Would you wear something like this on your upper back or go larger?

Placement makes the tattoo.

These swallows were designed to follow shoulder movement and anatomy.

When we book proper time, we can design it to fit YOU — not just the stencil.

Full-day bookings open.

Tattooing is not just art. It is reclamation. I work with people marking recovery dates, honoring loved ones, closing chapters, and stepping into new ones. My studio is a space where stories become permanent reminders of strength, and building work that carries real meaning beyond the surface.

Yesterday was about connection.
A mother and daughter came in and chose pieces that reflect their own style and personality. One bold and iconic. One soft and flowing. Different designs. Same bond.
I love seeing families mark moments together. Tattoos become timestamps. They hold stories. They grow in meaning over time.
Thank you both for trusting me with something you will carry side by side.

Soft linework. Flow with the arm. Designed to move with the body.

Florals are one of my favourite things to build into half-day projects.

If you’ve been thinking about starting a floral piece — this is your sign.

Today was an honour.

Two strong women came in to carry someone they love with them in a permanent way. Matching memorial pieces that hold an entire story.

Memorial tattoos are not about aesthetics. They are about remembrance. About turning grief into something you can see and touch.

Thank you both for trusting me with something this personal. I hold that responsibility with respect.
