ABOUT ROE

A contemporary tattoo studio where artistry, precision, and atmosphere converge.

MY STORY

I was born in prison.

From the start, instability wasn’t an obstacle, it was the environment. Addiction, broken systems, and survival shaped my early years long before I had language for them. I learned early how easy it is to lose direction when structure is missing.

As I got older, those patterns caught up to me. Addiction took hold. Poor decisions followed. I was incarcerated and faced the consequences of the life I was living. At that point, there were no shortcuts left, only responsibility.

Recovery didn’t arrive as a moment of inspiration. It came through discipline. Structure. Honest conversations. Learning how to show up consistently when it would have been easier to quit or deflect blame. Rebuilding trust with myself and with others became daily work.

Over time, that work changed everything.

Today, I work with individuals, teams, and organizations who are tired of surface-level motivation and ready for real change. My approach is grounded in lived experience and reinforced through leadership, community work, and years of accountability-focused practice.

I don’t promise quick fixes. I help people build clarity, structure, and systems that hold under pressure, because that’s what lasting change actually requires.

This work isn’t about where you come from.
It’s about what you choose to build next, and whether you’re willing to do the work to sustain it.
