I have now work with Industrial Strength 7 years, collecting many tattoos along the way. Thanks to my bosses for introducing me to some of Australia's best and for giving me all the free piercings I could want/handle. I love my bosses and the staff that I work with. It really feels like a second family for me.

What inspires you?
Going to art exhibitions, movies, tattoos, piercings and fashion in general. I have been doing a bit of photography myself and would love to one day have an exhibition.

Describe Industrial Strength – body piercing studio?
It is so amazing, I get to meet such a variety of people in my job, never a dull moment. I do most of my work up stairs in the office.

What are your 5 most favourite items?
My Wii, Nikon, skateboard, i-pod, snorkel/flippers.

What do you love most about being the body modification/piercing industry?
That we can all have tattoos/piercings but all look so individual. It has such a character building environment, it shows how everybody grows and changes. And we take our piercings and tattoos with us on our journey through life.

What advice would you give to other aspiring artist out there or anyone wanting to get into the this industry?
It is a hard industry to get into, but if you want something bad enough stick it out and you'll get there in the end.

Who was the last person to make you laugh and why?
My girl crush on this website, sounds silly, but I always check her out. And just then she sent me a message saying how in love with me she was! Awesome.

What are some hobbies you have outside work?
I am right into the new street fighter 4 game, but I really need to get on my skateboard a bit more. I love making beanies and customising t-shirts.

You have some gorgeous tattoo work on yourself, do you have a favourite tattoo artist? I do have lots of favourite artists. Matt Cunnington from West Side, Josh Roelink, Dean and Bodie from Steel Lotus are so amazing. I would love to one day be tattooed by Grime at Black Claw Tattoo. Do you have any exhibitions or projects coming up you would like to share with us? I will keep you posted with my photography, but nothing too exciting in the near future except I am going to start my sleeves soon. =)
