Over the course of the weekend, I spent more than 25 hours tattooing, working through long sessions while preparing two competition pieces for the stage.
Tattoo conventions are completely different from working in a studio. You’re creating under pressure, surrounded by incredible artists, with judges evaluating every detail of your work. It’s exhausting, challenging, and incredibly motivating at the same time.
Bringing home four awards from my very first U.S. convention made every hour worth it, and I’m grateful to everyone who supported me throughout the weekend.

It was an inspiring and memorable experience to connect with respected artists and industry professionals.
