I’m an American tattooer and artist currently working in Long Beach, California at Port City Tattoo. I specialize in American traditional tattooing with an art deco twist. I enjoy creating art in various media including watercolor and acrylic painting, printmaking and the art of bonsai. I collect skulls and taxidermy, vinyl records, antiques and oddities. When I’m not making art I’m spending time with my wife and daughter. 

I’ve been involved in the tattooing community for the past 16 years, tattooing for 14. Although I’ve been interested in the craft since a young age, I’ve been a self proclaimed artist as far back as I can remember.
