See my latest work!

I acknowledge that I am on Amiskwacîwâskahikan ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ , Treaty 6 territory which covers Western Alberta, Saskatchewan and into Manitoba. Composed of people Including the Dene Suliné, Cree, Nakota Sioux and Saulteaux and Métis region 4 of Alberta. I want to acknowledge the sacred history of tattooing in this territory and to indigenous peoples around the world.

I understand my privilege as a white settler and use that privilege to support communities in decolonizing tattooing. These efforts include tattooing all skin types, identities, and bodies. I refuse to benefit from the monetizing of indigenous culture and identity. I take it seriously as a white person on stolen lands to pay out to these communities when I can in the form of donations, tattoo fundraisers and using my platform to amplify indigenous voices.

I want to express my gratitude to the First Nations, Inuit and Métis who have put in time and energy to educate me and the settler community. Thank you.
