My tattoo career started in Hawaii. I used to paint skateboard grips and sell them out of a skate shop located next to Lady Luck Tattoo on the Big Island. After getting tattooed every week for 53 weeks straight the artists encouraged me to start an apprenticeship. This blossomed into the passion that has driven my life since then. I have since gotten to travel with this craft meeting people from all walks of life and experiencing the world through my art. It has been such a beautiful journey of constant learning.
I began watching anime with Dragon Ball when I was young and it has been a huge part of my life. When I started tattooing I knew I wanted to pay homage to some of the best artists alive by translating anime into tattoos. Anime has followed me through every stage of my life and I couldn’t be more grateful for the lessons it has taught me.
I am a father and husband. I love animals and have a passion for building paladariums in my free time where I house exotic frogs. I love the environment and try to help it in any way that I can. Thank you for checking out my Bio and I look forward to seeing you at this years Anime ink Virginia.
