I’ve fallen in love with the process of designing large scale tattoos in real time. It’s become impossible for me to tattoo without sitting with my client in person.

My work begins with a conversation, not a stencil.

Before any drawing happens, we talk. I tune into my client’s energy and listen to what they hope to embed within the ink. That moment of presence together often reveals more than any digital sketch or video call ever could.

From there, I study the body itself: bone structure, veins, scars, moles, and muscle movement. These natural markers become part of the composition. They act as anchors and checkpoints as the design moves across the skin.

My background research in the musculoskeletal system informs how I approach placement. I want the piece to move with the body rather than against it, following its natural flow.

Once I’ve absorbed all of this information, the rest becomes intuition. I freehand directly onto the skin, responding to the body as a living landscape.

No two large scale pieces are ever replicated. They couldn’t be. Each body carries its own architecture, its own history, its own rhythm.

The final piece becomes a bridge between the client’s present moment and the terrain of their body.
