Raised in Southern California's Orange County. I received my first tattoo when I was 17 years old at a place called “ Good time Charlies” by an Artist named Creeper.. That event opened the window to a whole new world for me. I've always been into art, I've loved everything about it! I always had a fondness for the American and Japanese style and would explore tattoo magazines during my early years, amazed at the great line work done by some of the great Japanese Traditional, artists.
I started tattooing professionally in 1991. As I progressed as a tattoo artist I soon realized that I found my niche with Japanese. Constantly refining and polishing this craft keeps me extremely busy and motivated to climb to the next level. A glimpse through my portfolio reveals my preference for Japanese and American tattoos. Although Japanese is the style I'm technically "known for," I do enjoy tattooing other styles and incorporating different aspects in my work to keep things fresh and interesting.
