I draw, interpret & translate stories into lasting art.
A cenotaph is a monument built in honour or memory of someone or something, even when their remains may exist somewhere else. A monument for what cannot physically be kept, but should never be forgotten. And that idea felt deeply connected to what I want my art to represent.
Tattoos can be memories. People. Places. Pain. Love. Growth. Loss. Milestones. Versions of ourselves we've outgrown but still carry with us. A permanent mark for something that mattered. That is the idea behind CENOTAPH. CENOTAPH means a monument created in memory of someone or something, even when what it represents is no longer physically there. I chose it because I see tattoos the same way — permanent monuments to memories, people, experiences and parts of ourselves that are worth carrying forever. More than tattoos, I make stories etched in skin.

Because I wanted my tattoos to feel less like decoration and more like monuments to the things people never want to forget. My tattoos are monument for something worth remembering.
