Michelle (she/her) is originally from Singapore & Malaysia but grew up all over the world (7 countries and 10 cities, to be exact). She peaked in fifth grade when she played the lead silkworm in her traditional Chinese dance troupe. Though she stopped dancing, she continued to worm her way through life, working mostly art admin and marketing jobs. She stumbled upon and fell in love with hand-poked tattooing a few years ago. She draws inspiration from her Chinese heritage and multicultural upbringing. She has been living and working in NYC for over a decade.
