When did you start tattooing?

2008


Do you have any special training?

I started taking private art classes when I was young and from there expanded as a self taught artist.


Tell us about the style of your work?

photo realistic, colorful, new style, black & grey


Where did you apprentice?

I never had an actual apprenticeship. Ive worked with various artists and expanded my knowledge and skills from there. Would have I liked to have a true apprenticeship with a real artist? yes, but of course it didnt happen that way.


How did you get into tattooing?

I just fell into it, I was going to school and had a friend who was a piercer tell me to try it out.


What inspires you as an artist?

The idea and concept to be able to create something amazing out of a blank canvas.


What tattoo artist do you most admire?

gunnar, jime litwalk, bob tyrrell, nikko hurtado, roman, mike devries


Have you tattooed any celebrities?



Before someone gets a tattoo, what advice do you give them?

I bluntly explain to them that this tattoo is going to be on them forever and to actually have a deeper thought on what they get, which I always help by doing custom tattoos that have a better more personal meaning to them.


Is there anyone that you would like to tattoo?

Anyone willing to wear my artwork.


What kind of tattoos do you look forward to doing?

Anything new school or photo realistic.


Is there a tattoo that you haven't done yet that you are dying to do?

Just various celebrity portraits and art out of my sketchbook.
