Why TPC?

I've been around the tattoo industry most of my life. I grew up in and around my local shop, became friends with artists, and eventually did an apprenticeship for a year before realizing I was more useful on the other side of things.

​

My background is in arts management. I've spent years doing my own marketing, managing social media for tattoo studios and brands, and watching genuinely talented artists struggle with the business side of what they do. TPC came out of that.

​

I'm a tattoo collector myself. I know how artists think, how studios operate, and where things tend to go wrong when it comes to marketing, positioning, and direction because I've been in this industry my whole life, not just consulting from the outside.

​

TPC has been doing this work for three years. The focus stays on tattoo artists and studios, with a priority on women and queer artists and queer-owned studios. I'm based in Los Angeles but work with artists nationally and internationally.
