What is your favorite tattoo and why?

I love all of the parts of my nearly finished body suit. The Canary on my belly represents my voice and intuition. I love her light and airy playfulness, it’s based off of a Japanese woodblock print.

What is one thing that you would like everyone to know about you?

On top of being a tattoo enthusiast, I am also an athlete and an environmentally conscious human. I am a weight lifter and a competitive jiu jitsu grappler. I train 5 days a week for both my physical & mental health. I am an avid hiker and backpacker. We did 1400 mi of the PCT with our dog, Marla, 2 years ago. Time in nature is essential for recovery. I live in a yurt that I built. I practice reducing waste & my carbon footprint in the most sustainable ways possible. Care for our planet.

If you were voted Inked Magazine's cover girl, what would you do with $25,000?

Winning this competition would create some really amazing opportunities. Tattooing and getting tattooed have been deeply healing experiences for me. I believe that there is so much empowerment in fearlessly adorning our bodies with imagery and colors that embody who we are, on the outside. If I win, I would fulfill my dream of moving my tattoo studio into a forest oasis where my clients can enjoy an escape from the city. Thanks for voting for me!
