(short for Alexandria). I am a 31 year old tattooer located in Fort Wayne, IN with over 15 years of artistic experience. My love for art began as early as elementary school when I would obsessively draw horses and Pokemon for my friends. As time went on, I started getting into a variety of mediums. Portraits, logos, photography, collage art, manga illustration, album art, graphic design – you name it, I've probably done it! Tattooing especially has been a field I’ve held dear to my heart and admired since a teenager. I grew up in a household where tattoos were frowned upon and I always felt as though I wasn’t worthy of being part of the culture. So I admired from afar until adulthood when I pulled the trigger to dive in and never turned back. The craft has such a vibrant tapestry of history, culture, and personal stories and it’s pretty surreal to be a part of it now. Traditional tattoos especially have shaped the industry into what it has become today and I will always have a special admiration for the style (although, I’m open to tattooing pretty much anything). When I’m not working I’m usually out finding a concert to go to or hanging out with my dog Barret (prepare yourself if you book with me, you'll likely catch me gushing about him because he's the true MVP of my life).
