I am a tattoo artist, existing and creating on unceded Wurundjeri land. I acknowledge the traditional and rightful custodians of the land on which I am based, as the Wurundjeri and Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin nation. I extend my deepest respects to elders past present and emerging, to their culture, language and traditional practices and further extend my respect to the diverse indigenous groups and peoples of so called ‘australia’, and aim to be an ally to first nations people in the face of the colonial landscape in which we exist.
always was, always will be, Aboriginal land’

M‍y tattoo work is designed as wearable jewellery or armour that is shaped to compliment the bodies anatomy. I intend to empower the wearer with the use of blackwork and pattern work designs, weaved along the natural landscapes of the human form, adorning and decorating the vessel within which you exist. I’ve always thought about tattoo as decorating the home that is your body.
