I love doing tattoos and getting tattooed. I am inspired every day by my fruitful life, my clients ideas and the other artists surrounding me. I find it important to represent myself through personal design style while fully representing you and your desire for self expression. This symbiotic relationship is why I find tattooing to be the most powerful way to make an impact on the world – through art that you get to wear for the rest of your life.

I started tattooing in 2001 and plan on keeping it up ‘till something gives out. I keep a busy schedule, staying booked consistently for about 3 months at a time, having to hold off taking consultations and appointments until specified times to remain sane. Thank you for your quest to find the artist that is just right for you; whether or not you choose me, when looking to make a permanent change to your body, it is best to do some research into various artists and what they have to offer.

I love the variation of personalities and the way we all see things differently. My personal taste is smooth gradients, fine lines and details, blended colors, subtleties, transparencies, swirling design elements and realism, at times with an abstract flair. I enjoy black and grey for its classic look and color for the way it brightens. I would be happy to tattoo portraits and realistic flowers all day long, but it is also nice to create movement with extra qualities only found in the mind.
