about

The Artist

I have been tattooing for +15 years. I don't specialize in any particular style. I love them all! Color, neo-traditional, fine line or big and bold. Tho, I'm hired a lot for my black and grey work... I find excitement working in all styles and even mixing them from time to time. I do cover-ups, custom work and free-hand as well.

I come from a multi-media background with experiences in graffiti (or murals), airbrushing and painting to name a few. My thought process behind creating your piece of art is to bring your vision to life based on the details and vision you provide.

Having a hard time visualizing your piece? No problem. Having a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design and working in the industry for years has given me the experience to work with my clients and ask all the right questions. I'm an artist who's adaptable, versatile and pretty knowledgeable in all styles of tattoo. I use all my experiences to come up with the best personalized idea(s) so they are tailored to you.

I have a passion for tattooing and creating so I am blessed with great clientele which keeps me busy. I am always taking appointments and meeting new clients. Waits can be a few months in advance so reach out with your questions or appointment inquiry now. I'm excited to see what ideas you got!
