Although my everyday artwork is tattoo oriented, I definitely do not try to limit my art or art mediums.

We are where our thoughts have taken us.

There is no other art medium like tattooing in the world. When the customer comes in with a basic idea, it is up to me to design and translate that idea onto skin. I really appreciate when customers have enough trust in what I can do.

It's not always the style of tattooing but the rather the subject matter that drives me. I love tattooing anything from mythology to comic book superheroes.

I don't have one specific tattooing specialty. I enjoy doing full-color new school, portraits, neo-traditional, realistic, black and gray, ultra detailed art, etc... but always custom.

Having previously graduated from a 2-year commercial arts class, I thought that commercial illustration was the best way to make a living doing art. But the more tattoos that I did, the more I realized what artistic career potential tattooing had and I enjoyed it.

I get to do some kind of artwork almost everyday and it just so happens that I can pay the bills and support my family while doing it.

Tattooing is historical, cultural and a great form of art but it should always be safe for both the client and the tattoo practitioner.

I like walking into the studio everyday and having completely custom, diverse artwork to do. And my clients keep the interesting ideas flowing in.

There are always a lot of jokes and good vibes floating through the studio so tattooing all day doesn't feel like a job. It's rewarding to see my clients as excited as I am.
