Legally, setting up at any event requires proper permits. In Suffolk County, tattooing outside of a licensed studio is possible but comes with regulations. The county requires an approved permit application, a site plan drawn to scale, and a designated space of at least 45 square feet that is physically separated from the public. The space must also have accessible bathrooms, hand sinks, sharps containers, covered waste receptacles, and privacy screens.

Beyond the legalities, my approach to tattooing is deeply personal. As a tattoo artist and designer, I focus on self expression tattoos— ones that go with your unique story and compel strong emotions. 

⚡️ Self Expression: I sell a permanent expression of a feeling, a moment, a capture, an essence that physically wears on your skin and occurs to you and others. When a tattoo occurs to someone, they view it in their context- an assumption is born about it, a question, or a realization, then maybe conversation. I sell the self expression it takes to occur this way in the world and I sell those interactions.
