I started tattooing friends and family, figuring things out through a lot of trial and error and countless hours of practice. Over the years, I’ve developed a style that leans heavily into realism, portraits, black and grey, and biomechanical work, but I’m always open to taking on something creative and making it my own.

I first competed on Ink Master during Season 4 and came back for Season 9: Shop Wars with DJ Tambe. We represented Old Town Ink and won, earning the title of Master Shop. It was a great experience, but at the end of the day, I’m still happiest in the shop working with clients and creating tattoos they’re excited to wear.

I believe the best tattoos happen when the artist and client are both into the idea. I like to take the time to understand what someone wants, build on the concept, and turn it into something custom that fits them.

Whether it’s a portrait, a detailed black-and-grey piece, or something completely original, my goal is always the same: do solid work, make it personal, and create something that holds up.
