A place for everyone.

One of my many shop values is to foster an environment where everyone feels comfortable. Sweet Needles Tattoo is one of five local pick-up spots for Jane’s Due Process, is an LGBTQ+ ally, and believes in equity for all.

About Me

I have been working as a professional tattoo artist since 2015. One of my favorite things about my job is the opportunity to witness and learn about the lives of so many people, including their different backgrounds, professions, families, and more. I feel fortunate to be exposed to such a diverse range of perspectives.

While I’m well-versed in many different tattoo styles, my one true love is color realism, which I dedicate most of my free time to.

If you only learn one thing about me, I hope that it’s how passionately I believe in equity. As someone with an advocate’s heart, it’s woven into everything I do.

  • A deposit is a partial, upfront payment of your tattoo's total cost. The amount will be deducted when you've completed your tattoo.

    If you're setting multiple appointments, your deposit will roll over till the final appointment.

  • If you have to cancel or miss your appointment for any reason, you will lose your deposit.

    Not showing up to your appointment may hinder your ability to schedule with me in the future, so please try to notify me ahead of time that you wont make your appointment.

    For rescheduling, I honor one rescheduling per deposit for up to a year- if you've notified me ahead of your appointment time.

    For example, same-day reschedules are a cancellation, and the deposit is lost. If you have to reschedule a second time, I would require a new deposit for a new date.

  • All of my consultations are now via email. This is whether you're sure you're going to schedule with me or if you're just curious on price.

    I understand this isn't everyone's favorite way of communicating, but it is, so far, the most efficient way I've found!

Your Body, Your Tattoo

Supporting your rights to your body in any tattoo shop!

Your Body Your Tattoo was created to make clients aware of their rights in a tattoo shop. We hope to empower you to choose safe tattooers who respect your body and to report if you’ve had an unsafe experience.

We hope to create a supportive, safe community for those who have been victimized and to raise awareness to prevent harm in the future. This will be achieved through community partnerships, educational materials, and group meetings in an open, supportive environment.
