Hey folks! I'm a tattooer originally from Austin, now living on Haida Territory. I tattoo in lot's of different places, in lots of styles, and my books are always open for custom work or flash. I view tattooing as healing work, and always strive for a supportive environment for all clients.

Renowned Palestinian writer Refaat Alareer was Reem Hamadaqa's professor and close mentor. She writes of his posthumous book If I Must Die, "Alareer's poems embody the essence of resistance, grief, steadfastness—sumud—and storytelling as survival."
