I BEGAN MY TATTOO CAREER AT THE AGE OF SIXTEEN.
I trained for two years under Rey Contreras, head artist & co-owner of Black Attic Tattoo Studio (also known as Not For Nothing Tattoos). I am currently tattooing at Live By The Sword, I started here in autumn of 2025 and I am furthering my ability to do finer line tattoos and explore my black & grey sensibilities.
I studied Communication Design at NYCCT from 2022 to 2026, here I honed my illustration and design skills. I also studied production management at FIT from 2018 to 2020, where an interest in merchandise & apparel began to form.
I am also a musician and have been ingrained in New York’s B.I.P.O.C punk scene since 2022, beginning with the inception of my band “FULANO!” where I serve as the lead vocalist. I have made multiple posters, album covers, and pieces of merchandise for this community.
