Age: 31

Experience: Since 1998

Style: I love tattooing portraits. Realism is probably my "style" if I had to choose, or anything creative and original. Black & grey or color, I have no preference as long as it fits the tattoo.

Influences: First off, my co-workers. I like talking with the guys about how we approach different tattoos & color theory. And of course I've always got my eye on the pros, Nikko & Josh Carlton.

What got you into Tattooing: My dad wanted me to do it but it was not legal here so we started a flash business together. That lasted a few years then when he passed away, my brother and I bought a tattoo kit and I started screwing up my buddies skin. I learned by trial and error, stupid.

Favorite tattoo style: Color, black & grey, portraits, or horror affiliated subjects. As a fan of horror movies, I've always loved trying to draw in this style and tattooing it is more fun. I love the challenge that realism/portraits come with. After you're done with a tattoo and you've nailed it, there is no better feeling of satisfaction for me.

About Me: I love being a full time artist finally here in OKC. I stay busy with tattooing and painting. I'm always doing on or the other and in between my artisness, I'm a loving husband and father. My son is 4 and a smart little booger. Hopefully when he's older, he'll become a tattooist as well and we could own a shop together, but as it looks right now, he might be too smart for that!
