I was born in Alexandria, Virginia, but spent my childhood immersed in the rich heritage and culture of Guadalajara, Mexico. It was there that I began my lifelong journey in drawing and painting, which stayed with me even as I moved back to the States years later.

From drawing pieces for family and friends, to painting murals for local businesses, I was always looking for new mediums to apply my artwork, so exploring art on the human body came as a natural part of the process. I am currently the owner and lead tattoo artist of Embassy Tattoos (est. 2009) in D.C., working with diverse clients to expand my style and technique. Since 2021, we’ve been consecutively recognized every year as being one of the top 7 tattoo shops in DC, and recently recognized as being number 17 in the nation.

In the years since, I’ve accumulated an expansive portfolio of expertise in black and gray, color and realism tattooing. I’ve travelled to over 10 different countries, working with the top tattoo artists from across the globe and bringing home multiple awards from the most prestigious tattoo conventions. I believe in letting my work speak for itself—and empowering you through the tattoos I bring to life.
