Artist bio

Who's holding the machine

From a humble street shop in San Diego, I've tattooed coast to coast making people look sexy naked. I'm a Navy veteran who studied at the Art Institute of San Diego.

I enjoy a wide variety of tattoo styles and specialize in bold large-scale pieces, with a keen eye for fitting the piece to your body.

Cover-ups are always welcome here.
