Why TPC?

The Pangea Collective focuses on strategy and direction for independent artists and studios.

I started this work after spending time inside the tattoo industry and seeing how much of the business side is learned through trial and error. Over time, I became more interested in the structure behind visibility. I looked at how artists are positioned, how they’re perceived, and how that connects to long-term direction.

Most of what I do lives in that space.

I’m not a tattoo artist. I don’t critique the work itself. I look at how it’s being presented, how clearly it communicates, and whether the way someone is operating supports where they want to go next.

A lot of my experience has been with women and queer tattoo artists and studios. That remains a core part of The Pangea Collective, while the work also extends to other independent artists navigating similar decisions.

TPC is based in Los Angeles.
