I’m a tattooer born and raised in Southern California. Growing up here and was exposed to skate/punk culture early on in life. The energy and rawness of these scenes were too exciting to not want to be apart of. This set the foundation for who I would become. I began my tattoo career in 2003 at the age of 19. A self taught artist with the urge to be a part of a craft that was a little more taboo at the time. My work is mainly focused on both Traditional Americana and Japanese styles while building new ideas stemming from those. After 21 years of tattooing I still strives to become a better artist in hopes to contribute something great to tattooing that will inspire future generations to come. Today you can find me working towards that goal at my tattoo shop located in Echo Park, Los Angeles.
