Nearly 15Years Tattooing

Born and raised on Long Island, New York, I've spent my whole life chasing creativity, whether it was drawing, playing music, or finding new ways to make art. These days I'm a proud father of two amazing girls, and when I'm not tattooing, you'll usually find me sketching, playing video games, reading comics, watching cartoons, anime, TV shows, or movies, or listening to music—pop culture has always been a huge inspiration in both my life and my work.

I've been tattooing for nearly 15 years and believe a tattoo artist should be as versatile as the people who walk through the door. I love working in American Traditional, Neo-Traditional, Japanese, Black & Gray, Fine Line, Illustrative, New School, comic book, and video game-inspired styles, but at the end of the day, I don't like putting limits on what I create.

Big or small, bold or subtle, simple or complex, every tattoo deserves the same attention and effort. My goal is to give working-class people solid, honest tattoos they'll be proud to wear for the rest of their lives—because to me, nothing is off the table.
