I've been tattooing professionally since 1998. I apprenticed in 1996 in Jacksonville, Fl (where I lived for 30 years). I've worked in shops up and down the east coast, and have settled with my husband, Alex, here in Harrisonburg, VA. I've been working at Painted Lady Tattoos since 2003 (for now), where I have built up an amazingly diverse clientle, and I am grateful for everyone's patronage!

I've tried to be well versed in all styles of tattooing, and not trying to limit myself to just one. But I have to admit that black and gray is my favorite style. I really enjoy doing stuff with lots of detail, and I'm always up for a good challenge!

I also try to be as gentle as possible through the process, as I know these things sometimes hurt! And you will be treated with kindness and respect by me, no matter what the tattoo is - I understand that a lot of thought and consideration goes into your tattoo of choice, and I am more than happy to work with you through the design process. The customer is my primary focus, and I want to be able to provide the best service possible, as this is not about me, it's about YOU and what YOU want.

I will be updating this site often, so please check back again soon for new stuff!
