Fine-line handpoke tattoos.
I create minimalist handpoke tattoos designed to feel timeless, personal, and quietly intentional.
Selected Work
The Studio
Every appointment is a private experience in my Santa Monica home studio, designed to feel relaxed, comfortable, and unhurried. Whether it's your first tattoo or your fiftieth, my goal is to create an experience that's just as thoughtful as the tattoo itself.
Why Handpoke?
Gentle
No machine vibration.
Handpoke tattoos are applied one point at a time, creating a slower, more controlled experience.
Intentional
Every line is placed by hand.
Each tattoo is created with patience and precision, resulting in clean, thoughtful line-work.
Quiet
A calm, one-on-one experience.
Appointments take place in my private Santa Monica studio, designed to feel relaxed and unhurried.
