“Life is short, do something with it. What else can be said?”

I’m a military brat that ran high-tail outta Texas and lived overseas a cumulative 15 years between England, Germany, and Okinawa. I never knew what I wanted “to be,” so I always just put one foot in front of the other and tattooing happened to find me. I started tattooing mid-2022 under the mentorship of Patrick after helping catapult Arcadium into business. It’s been a lot of fun.

When I’m not tattooing I prefer to be outside, but mthrfk it’s cold here in the winter.

For a broader idea of what type of tattoo projects I’m getting into, check out my insta next to my mugshot.

Yes, I am taking appointments

A Selection of fresh vs healed

One of my favorite things is to see how my work has healed and to hear about how it’s treating you. Don’t be shy to swing through the shop so that I can snap a picture, or to catch me out in the wild to show off a lil’ skin… guaranteed I’ll want to snap a quick pic and add it to this growing collection as this is wildly small for the amount that I feel like I’m glued to the chair tattooing. This gallery includes pieces from the first year of my apprenticeship to present day.

What I tattoo varies. Sometimes it’s based off of real pictures, artwork that is brought to me and modified to suit being a tattoo, or admittedly adapted from other tattoos that somebody loves with changes made to suit them. Other times, I’m given a list of wild-haired ideas and am left to my devices, am told a story, or am given the dead-eyed need for ink. My style values strong line work, and I happen to really enjoy color. Geometry-based styling is one of my least favorites, but otherwise I do enjoy the medieval woodcut and pen & ink illustrative styles. I will tattoo your head if you want. No, I don’t do cosmetics.

Reach out to Arcadium Tattoo via the “booking” tab in the menu, emailing arcadiumtattoo@gmail.com, or DM Arcadium’s facebook/insta — be sure to ask for me by name;) Let me know what you’ve got in mind including deets about placement, size in inches, and share any references photos you have.
I’ll probably want to schedule you in for a consult so we can meet in person. This helps me make sure I’m understanding what you’re puttin’ down, and sometimes I clarify things by puttin’ sharpie to skin. I’ll trace that with onion paper and cry later (da-dun-tst). Please let me know a good phone number and a few days between Tues and Fri that 4:30pm will work for a chat: I’ll schedule you in!
Consults are always free! My minimum tattoo charge is $100.
I require a $100 deposit to book in appointments that goes towards the overall cost at the end. We can take care of this over the phone, no probs. Congratulations! You’ve officially contracted a tattooist.
The deposit guarantees your time slot and saves me some salt if you no-show me.
For all things booked in you’ll get a confirmation text from Arcadium, as well as a reminder text 3 days prior to your appointment.
Need to cancel or reschedule an appt? For sure.
Let me know you need to reschedule or cancel no later than that reminder text message: This saves your deposit.
Per shop policy, there are two free reschedules before I’m gonna ask for another $100 deposit.
