With over 20 years of tattooing experience and a bachelor’s degree in painting and sculpture, Sue has dedicated much of her life to the creative arts. Raised overseas and having lived across both the East and West Coasts, she brings a wide range of life experience and artistic influence into her work.
Sue began tattooing in San Diego, working in styles that included fine line, black and grey, portraits, and realism. In recent years, she has focused more deeply on American traditional tattooing, honoring its bold design language, history, and cultural roots.
With a deep respect for tattoo culture and tradition, Sue aims to carry that legacy forward through thoughtful, timeless tattoos made with care and intention.
