About Haley
I’ve been tattooing since 2010, and I love bringing a wide range of styles to my work. From black and grey realism to bold American traditional, fine line floral, and elegant script, I enjoy working across a broad artistic spectrum. I specialize in cover-ups and take pride in designing tattoos that complement and flow with the body’s natural contours. I also have a deep appreciation for sacred geometry and mandalas, creating intricate and meaningful designs.
My love for tattooing started with a lifelong passion for art and doodling. My dad, who has been collecting tattoos since the 1970s, was a huge inspiration and supporter of my journey into the industry. One of the best parts of my job is connecting with clients—sharing laughs, trading stories, and collaborating to create tattoos that are both personal and memorable.
Outside of the studio, I’m a proud Mom of two boys and part of a big blended family. I love spending time outdoors, keeping up with the kids, and enjoying our beautiful local beaches with our dogs. While I truly love what I do, my happiest moments are spent surrounded by family, nature, and creativity.

"The whole experience at Sugar Shack was amazing. Haley was very good with me and explained the whole process as she was doing the tattoo. She even made some suggestions that improved on the design. I absolutely love my tattoo. Thank you for making this a great memory."
