Hi! I’m Sophia,

My pronouns are they/them. I’ve been tattooing for about 4 years now!

I grew up in Poughkeepsie, NY where most of my focus was in my violin studies, but I was always drawing and doing art/taking art classes. I was always torn between art and music, but had spend so much time/energy/my parent’s money on violin lessons, orchestra groups, fiddling groups, orchestra summer camps, etc that it felt like the most logical decision to go to school for music.

I went to the Boston Conservatory where I studied violin (with an interest in conducting) and graduated in 2019 with a BM in performance. I moved to Chicago right after graduating with the intent of continuing my education in orchestral conducting.

As Covid hit in 2020, the time I had to myself inevitably led to an increased interest in my artistic side, and I decided to pursue a tattoo apprenticeship. Tattooing has been my passion in an almost religious way ever since.

I am always striving to be a better tattooer and a better artist (and a better person!) and I am eternally grateful to anyone who has ever trusted me with their skin or to anyone who has ever supported my artwork in any way!

These are my values...
