I’m from Tampa, Florida, and my greatest passion has always been learning. That constant drive to expand my knowledge has helped me grow and evolve as a piercer year after year.

My journey began in 2004 at just 16 years old, when I joined my uncle in the tattoo world up in Pensacola. Piercing wasn’t my focus at first—I didn’t perform my first piercing until I was 19—but once I did, I knew I had found my path.

From the very beginning, my mission has been clear: to change the way people understand piercing aftercare and healing. By focusing on proper education, I aim to give every client a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. I make it a point to communicate openly from the moment someone sits in my chair until the time they walk out the door.

My aftercare instructions are based on medical understanding—not outdated practices passed down over the decades. Clean piercings are important, but even more important is how you take care of them. Education, communication, and professionalism are the foundation of every service I provide.
