About Me

I was born in Buffalo, NY in 1977. My family traveled quite a bit while I was growing up. I've lived in New York, Alabama, Massachusetts, Maine, Texas, Rhode Island, California, and Virginia.

I've been involved in art in some form or another all of my life. When I was young, I developed an obsession with comic books, in which I spent every free moment of my time reading, drawing and studying.

Later, in 1994, mostly due to my involvement in the South Texas punk rock scene, I became interested in tattooing. This replaced my obsession with comic book art. Tattooing soon became the main focus of my entire life.

I began tattooing in 1997, narrowly escaping a future filled with washing dishes and working overnights in convenience stores.

I enjoy illustrative tattoos that tell a story or invoke emotion, bringing influences from classic American and Asian traditional tattooing. I want to make my tattoos built to last, and to carry on with whoever wears them, timelessly

I currently work in a private studio in Richmond, Virginia.

If you'd like to get tattooed, or have a question, please drop me a line through the "contact" page.
