A piece that means something to you
You bring the story. We make it permanent.Alyssa Collins
I started tattooing about two years ago. I practiced on my friends, reached out to artists in New York and took a class in Australia with the artist who did one of my own tattoos.
New York and North Carolina are home, but my work travels. Through guest spots I tattoo around the world, so getting tattooed by me isn't limited to the US. Send me a DM with your city and I'll share my upcoming dates.
My sessions are a time to talk about your dreams, your plans, health and fitness. I tattoo people who are working towards something, and I design every piece together with you.
