My artistic journey has presented its fair share of challenges, yet what sets them apart is my conscious choice to confront them, fueled by a genuine passion for my craft. Since the initial moment I grasped a pencil, the desire to create has been part of who I am.
"I couldn't have asked for a better experience in getting ink that means so much to me. Isaac paid attention to detail and did such an amazing job. A true artist can capture the emotion behind the ink, and he did it! I absolutely LOVE it!" -Séy Séy
Born in Southern California, my influences are as vast. As an artist, I’m all about deepening my understanding and stumbling upon new discoveries. My passion? Creating art that truly connects with people.
Originally dreaming of sustaining myself through traditional art, fate took a turn when my dad introduced me to the world of tattoos. I dived into the works of my favorite tattoo artists, dissecting their influences and making it a crucial part of my journey.
Before I joined the tattoo scene, I honed my skills in oil painting, a journey of continuous refinement. Adulting for me meant navigating the art show scene, constant drawing, and vending at various California shows. These experiences led me to a revelation – I had to go all-in and make art my full-time gig. Now, I’m here, living my dream as a tattoo artist, fueled by a passion for making meaningful art that sticks.
Feeling the need for a change, I made the bold decision to move to Montana, a move that not only deepened my understanding of my abilities as an artist but led me to the inspiring Missoula montana . After two or so years with Tattooing in Montana , my journey brought me to Spokane, Washington for a short amount of time before I found my way back to Missoula!
Now with the help of fellow tattoo artist Leah Greenwood we’re proud to present Love Life Tattoo! Being able to co-own this business is so exciting. Having the opportunity to tattoo confident and proud in our space is our main goal. There’s lots of growth to come , I’m excited for you to witness it with me.
Thank you for being a part of my story. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to be a part of your tattoo journey as well.
