My career began at age 14 — I was living in New York City and befriended a tattoo artist by the name of Crazy Tony. Besides friendship he provided me with the tattoo fundamentals that define my style today. After that point I held many jobs where I learned to tattoo and began to grow confident in my technical skills as an artist. It was with this new-found confidence that I moved to Kissimmee, Florida to expand my knowledge about the tattoo industry and its history. The move to Florida also inspired a style change for me and I here began Japanese traditional, color realism, and black & white portraits (where I have since excelled and won many awards from expos including Tattoo Fest, Scream Fest, and the Cigar City Tattoo Convention).

Black and gray tattoo portraits

I use soft lines and high dark contrasting black to add depth to the portraits. I also add background to bring the tattoo to life, paying special attention to the eyes, mouth and nose.

Black and Gray Tattoos

The black and gray tattoos are a reflection of my love of the portraits I do. I use super soft shading and the same high contrast black portrait styling to make the tattoo seem alive.

Color tattoos

I use the best the tattoo Industry has to offer in color pigments. From the simple rose to movie-based tattoos, I strive to make the tattoos look like they can come right off your skin.
