When did you start tattooing: Started tattooing in 2010.

Who was your first client: First client was myself. I tattooed a skull on my knee. From there was my brother and so on .

Describe your style of tattooing: I prefer black and grey with realism and texture. I like anything with a high contrast and deep blacks.

Do you have any tattoos: I only have a few pieces myself: a half sleeve and a couple random ones. Nothing too covered.

Who are some of your influences: Some of my influences are Paul Booth and Bob Tyrell; they are the OG’s of black and grey!

Have you done any cover ups: I do coverups all the time.

What do you want the world to know about your tattoo life: I don’t really try to limit myself to one style.
