One summer night, many years ago, a trucker mated with the son of a traveling salesman
under a full moon in San Francisco, California. The result of this union was an early little girl
who grew up with a lopsided smile and a sarcastic disposition. She spent most of her youth
donning combat boots, a Catholic school uniform, and a bizarre sense of humor. As a young
adult, she moved to Portland, Oregon and spent her first few years there in some sort of
quarter-life crisis oblivion none of which is really worth recounting. One day she found herself
on the doorstep of a tattoo parlor called Icon, the owner of which ended up hiring her
on as his apprentice based solely on the fact that she carried a knife in her boot and pencil
through her ear. She didn’t know it then, but it was to be a defining moment in her life.
Because of all the professions she had tried on during her not considerably long life,
this was the one that was to stick. She slept very little in the following years which will
probably result in permanent madness or at least some sort of personality disorder,
the doctors are still running tests, but it was all worth it because she became a licensed
tattoo artist in 2009. She enjoys baking and sewing as much as she does zombie flicks
and motorcycles, and conducts most of her life while listening to Tom Waits. She specializes
in neo-traditional style tattooing and “that’s what she said” jokes.
