Accomplishments

I have been a fully licensed tattoo artist since 2003 and I have owned my own studio since 2014 and it’s still going strong. I have been lucky enough to be picked up by a company to be sponsored by and travel around the world doing tattoo conventions. I have been published around the world over a dozen times in magazines and books and have help write new codes of standard in my area for tattooing. Everything I do is fully custom for every single client so customer contact and communication is very important for work like this. I’m very diligent and very good with tedious tasks while also keeping individuals calm while in uncomfortable situations.

Affiliations

I am affiliated with a company called Neotat. They are a machine building company for the industry that has been sponsoring me since 2012. I’m also affiliated with the national Tattoo association and several magazines in the industry.

Certification

Other than receiving my Tattoo license which took a two year apprenticeship to achieve I have also been continuing my education within this field and have earned several certifications for different techniques, skills, understanding of anatomy and skin, and how to work with individuals that have compromised areas. I’ve also been trained and certified in color theory, coverups, mastectomy tattooing and more.
