The story behind The Black Hibiscus
Discover the heart and history behind The Black Hibiscus - how my journey through art, resilience, and self-discovery shaped a studio devoted to creating deeply personal, one-of-a-kind tattoos.

My Journey in Ink
As the artist behind The Black Hibiscus, I bring a perspective rooted in resilience and transformation.
My path into tattooing began during one of the hardest chapters of my life - a time that taught me strength, patience, and the beauty of starting over.
Those experiences instilled in me a profound appreciation for story and emotion, and that spirit lives in every piece I create.
Each tattoo is more than design - it's a collaboration of memory, meaning, and rebirth.

My Ideal Client
I'm not for everyone - I work with people who want something real. My clients know a tattoo isn't just a look. it's a statement. They come to me with meaning, emotion, or a story that deserves something custom - not copied. If you value quality, connection, and a little attitude, you'll fit right in at The Black Hibiscus.

More Than Just a Tattoo Shop
The Black Hibiscus isn't just a shop - it's built on soul, story, and survival. Every tattoo here has purpose. Every line means something. This is for the ones who've lived, who've rebuilt, and who wear their truth on their skin.
This studio exists because art saved me - and now, I get to return the favor.
"This place was built for the ones who've been through it - the ones who turned pain into art and wear it with pride."
