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, from Florida to Boston, and eventually I ended up in Harrisonburg, VA. I spent 19 years at Painted Lady Tattoos, and I have built up an amazing clientele ranging from all walks of life.

Through fate, an opportunity to open a new shop with a couple of really wonderful guys happened, and in March 2023 Scarlet Moon Tattoos in Staunton, VA was born. Here we celebrate diversity and inclusion and we aim to be a safe and inviting space for all. Our first year has been really successful, and I really appreciate all the great new clients and friends that have supported us!

It is my goal to be versatile in many styles of tattooing, and not trying to limit myself to just one. So I won’t say I’m a specialist in any particular area, but I have to admit that black and gray is my favorite style. I really enjoy doing stuff with lots of detail, or lots of color and I'm always up to try something different.

I try to be as gentle as possible through the tattooing process, as I know these things sometimes hurt. 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 on your ideas. 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. So check out my work and come by and see me!
