When I was a child, drawing was my entire world and the center of my universe. From the time I was a toddler, I would doodle enthusiastically all over my family’s white walls—much to my mom’s dismay, as she did not particularly enjoy this phase of my artistic journey. As I grew older and stepped into the “real world” with my job as a nurse, I sadly set aside my deep passion for drawing and creating.

​

However, around 2023, right during and after the pandemic, a strong urge to unleash my creativity returned. I began carrying my drawing supplies everywhere I went, diligently working on building my portfolio. Creating fantasy, girly characters with whimsical animal sidekicks became my true passion. Whenever I designed those girls, using psychedelically vibrant colors, I felt like I had stepped into another enchanting dimension. I would even invent detailed backstories for each character.

​

By 2024, I started reaching out for tattoo apprenticeships around town; despite facing rejection after rejection, I persevered and finally secured a position at my dream shop with a fantastic, experienced mentor. This journey of pursuing my childhood and lifelong dream still feels wonderfully surreal. Every time I pick up my tattoo machine and feel its buzz, my heart literally sings with joy.

​

So, to put it simply, I am incredibly grateful to you—yes, you—for taking the time to check out my work and even consider booking a tattoo with me. It truly makes my younger self unbelievably happy.
