I grew up in the south east of Melbourne where I went through school and then studied Graphic Design at University. I loved it but had no interest in being a graphic designer. I moved to New York in 2012 to try and figure it out. That year I did my first tattoo at my friends art studio in Dumbo, Brooklyn. I moved to London in 2015 and decided that tattooing would be my life from then on. I needed money though so I ended up in corporate fashion and with that money I moved to a warehouse in Seven Sisters where I had a studio above my bedroom. Eventually tattooing overtook everything. I knew I had to move home to really give it a go. So I moved back to Melbourne, got myself a little studio and gave it everything. It worked.
