Being a cosmetic and paramedical tattoo artist is more than just a job—it’s my purpose. When I was sixteen, I lost all the hair on my body to an autoimmune condition called Alopecia. During some of my darkest moments, permanent makeup helped me regain my confidence by restoring my eyebrows. That experience inspired me to give back what my tattoo artist gave me: a way to heal and empower others through restorative, confidence-boosting tattoos. What once felt like my darkest challenge turned into my greatest superpower, giving me a purpose and passion that feel especially meaningful and personal. Alopecia may have taken my hair, but it gave me something far greater—the ability to help others heal and create a safe, private space where they feel understood. Through the gift of helping others heal, I’ve come to realize just how much it has helped to heal me in return.
