Life is hard; that’s a given. But we all decide where to place our energy, what to build, and what to endure. For me, tattooing has been the expression of that choice—a reflection of grit, patience, and the relentless pursuit of beauty uncovered through struggle.

Every line I draw, every design I create, carries the weight of this philosophy. Tattooing is not just art; it’s a process of breaking down and building back up, of trusting that the effort will lead to something meaningful. It’s the same process life demands of us daily: to show up, embrace the hard work, and find meaning in the challenge.

The tattoos I create are symbols of this journey. Whether simple or intricate, they embody transformation, resilience, and the stories we carry. Each piece is a reminder that beauty isn’t found in perfection—it’s revealed through the struggles we choose to embrace.
