Background
Origin Story
I’m Helen Marie B. Tatad, an artist who broke away from the stereotypical healer class (you know, nurse or doctor) and leveled up into the challenging “artist” class. My journey started with traditional art, moved to digital, and now I’m evolving into the tattoo artist subclass. Born in the Philippines and leveling up in Canada, I’ve painted murals, run convention booths, and now I’m here, using tattoos to tell powerful stories. Each tattoo is my way of adding a bold, emotional quest to your life’s journey.
