I have been tattooing since 2000. Before opening my parlour in Depot Town Ypsilanti I worked at Name Brand Tattoo in Ann Arbor for 7 years. I Had a semi-Traditional apprenticeship where I learned the basics in technique and ethics. I also Graduated with my BFA from College for Creative studies in Detroit. My tattoo work is based in traditional American and traditional Japanese styles. I am influenced by artists such as Horiyoshi III, Hokusai, Ed Hardy, Bert Grimm, Spider Web, Jerry collins, and Percy Waters, just to name a few. I am best at drawing women figures, flowers, animals and mythological subjects. I am well versed in my technique and able to apply any tattoo very well. My best practices include health and safety first and foremost in addition to a well thought out work of art. If you would like to meet with me for a consultation to brainstorm your ideas please call the studio.

I am also a painter who specializes in figurative oil painting. I often explore the tattooed figure in my work however I also find myself interested in animals. Please check out the link to my other website which features my fine art work.
