how did you learn how to tattoo?
In 2020 I took an online hand poking course by Melina Mansing, a Canadian tattoo artist. Through this course I learned all of the basics of providing a clean and safe tattooing service. After this I mainly practiced on fake skin and myself! In 2021 I upgraded my knowledge with another online course by Ezra Gilberg, a German tattoo artist. In this course I learned a lot of new techniques which have really advanced my skills!
what is your favourite thing to tattoo?
I truly love the creative freedom of Ornamental tattoos! An ornamental tattoo is a decorative piece that consists of a myriad of shapes, dots and lines typically forming a symmetrical design. Many cultures around the world have their own style of ornamental art! As a traveller myself, I find it is a great way to create a beautiful piece of permanent art that is inspired by traditional art and worldly cultures.
can you do machine tattoos?
In 2022 I took an online course with Chloé Besson, an American tattoo artist. In this course I learned about Cheyenne tattoo equipment, proper sanitization processes, practiced linework and shading on fake skin, as well as operating a business as a tattoo artist. Since being pregnant, I have not had the chance to use the machine on human skin! If you are interested in allowing me to practice on you, please reach out for a limited time discounted price for machine tattoos!
