www I love making everyone feel included, welcome and comfortable. I am a big animal lover as well as a gamer and movie junkie. If you bring up a topic we have in common, we will most likely be best friends from that point on. a smaller and smaller place for everyone. It’s very satisfying to make a vision become a reality, and watching people leave happy and looking fresh is always a plus.

What advice would you give to someone about getting his or her first tattoo? (A tattoo virgin)

I recommend hydrating and taking really good care of your skin prior to getting tattooed, and consider how your idea will look on the body. Also, try to allow yourself to let go of the reigns a bit and allow your artist to guide you in the direction that will look and last the best.

What would you say is your favorite part of

the job? My favorite part about this job is being able to meet new people and make the world

What was your most painful tattoo?

I would say the knuckles closest to the cuticles and anywhere near the tailbone were the worst spots.

What do you recommend for

aftercare? I always say less is more when it comes to aftercare. Don’t overmilitarize or rewrap, and I have found that it typically makes your tattoos heal faster and avoids scabbing.

What was your first

tattoo? I got my first tattoo from a shop out in Vegas; a man named Matt did a daisy on my forearm. Once I got that, I knew I needed more my arm looked too empty.

Who and what influences you to create your work?

My mentor pushes me to be better and better every day. He influences me to be the best artist I can be. Also, my clients influence what I draw almost every day. Their crazy ideas are why I do what I do. Every day is different and exciting.

Are there any tattoos you would refuse to do? (face, private areas, etc.)

I’m ok with tattooing almost all body parts. However, some spots I will be slightly hesitant with if you aren’t tattooed at all, such as the hands, neck, and face. But I do love a good face tattoo. ✕
