My tattoo journey started on a skateboard. Back in the '80s, I'd cruise down to the local gas station, not for snacks, but for the skate and biker mags. But it wasn't just the edgy designs that captivated me. I was equally drawn to the pages of National Geographic, where I discovered the incredible diversity of cultures and their traditions of body modification. Seeing how people around the world used tattoos to express their identity, beliefs, and stories ignited a spark in me.

This fascination ultimately led me to pursue an apprenticeship near where I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. It was a classic, high-volume street environment where walk-ins were the bread and butter. That fast-paced energy forced me to learn quickly and develop a bulletproof foundation.

Over the years, I've had the amazing opportunity to work with incredible clients and colleagues alike. I’m still constantly learning from both seasoned veterans and the up-and-comers. Now, after 30 years in the industry, I can honestly say that almost everything I have, and almost everyone I know, I attribute to tattooing. I’ve met amazing people from every walk of life, and I'll never take what this craft has given me for granted.

Today, my focus is dedicated to a clean, powerful hybrid of American Traditional and Neo-Traditional styles, alongside Traditional Asian-Inspired, Neo-Asian Traditional, and smooth-shaded Surrealism. I love working with classic iconography but thrive on pushing my clients' ideas to the absolute limit.

From start to finish, my goal is to bring your vision to skin with total, uninterrupted focus. Explore the portfolio, and let's build something bold.
