I got my big break when the gods of tattoo smiled down on me the summer 2002. A lifetime of doing art and an inability to punch a time clock had prepared me for this perfect job. My husband and good friends Patrick, Buck and Duffy Moon all trusted me (then a piercer) to tattoo them all one fate filled night. My apprenticeship soon began. I have worked with some really great artists, and one asshole. I learned a lot from working with them. I do clean line work and pack in the color. I have an eclectic style that is hard to pin down. Catholic school, suburbia, and the influence of being generation X has made me who I am. A smash talking, gun toting, liberal vegan, that loves teacup chihuahua's. I am a self proclaimed doll maker and opera singer.
When I am not putting the pain of needles into someone, I am checking, slide tackling, and elbowing roller babes from around the area. Working at Shamrock Tattoo is the coolest gig in town! Come in and see why!
