Passionate about Art, Life, & Tattoos!

The Journey.

Toltec Spirit Tattoo is the result of my personal journey. This journey has inspired me to want to work more closely with people, to empower them to co-create something beautiful and meaningful in the form of the ancient art of tattooing.

Although I have only been tattooing since 2016, I feel like I have been building skills for this, my whole life. I had a childhood passion for nature, animals and art. This led to a University scholarship for Fine Art which I attended for a year and a half. I chickened out on the starving artist lifestyle and decided to follow my love for nature and animals by going to Vet School. I had a successful 20 year career as a small animal veterinarian, with a special interest in surgery on tiny animals. All of this led to an understanding of art, good fine motor skills, client service, tissue handling and aseptic technique.

The name Toltec comes from ancient and beautiful wisdom passed down by the people of Mexico (Mexico means the Moon’s navel, or dream consciousness). The word Toltec simply means artist. But not necessarily a visual artist, an artist of life. The Toltec Wisdom Tradition, has many similarities to Buddhism. Toltec teaches us how live in a way as to experience love, freedom from suffering and happiness abundantly. If we are Toltec Warriors we are master artists who skillfully create our lives with intention, much like a beautiful piece of art. Toltec wisdom has been pivotal in my life and I believe it could help many people live happier lives.
