I’m from Wolf Lake, Indiana. I’ve always had a desire and a yearning to do art. I feel like it’s a part of my being. Art literally has kept me alive all these years. I just want to get better and be a positive role model for my son.
How long have you been tattooing?
I always thought of it as the most different and difficult form of artwork. I was fascinated by the fact that we have been drawing on ourselves and on walls our entire existence. I have been tattooing for about 7 years.
What advice would you give to someone about getting his or her first tattoo? (A tattoo virgin)
Make sure you look at all artists in your area and surrounding and afar to pick someone that will accomplish what you desire. Also, look at their healed photos.
What did your family and friends think about you getting into the tattoo business?
My friends were very supportive and some of my family were very supportive.
What would you say is your favorite part of the job?
That amount of self-accomplishment I feel after finishing a very challenging piece. Covering up old mistakes for a client as well.
What is your favorite body part to tattoo and why?
Hands, inner biceps, and calves. I think I like them the most because the skin holds ink extremely well, and it’s a very common spot, the skin is naturally taut there.

Who and what influences you to create your work?
The world around me and my own subconscious. I have a very big imagination, but reality keeps me grounded.
What is the most important advice you can give someone new to the art of tattooing?
Never ever give up. And always listen to your gut; every piece you do will follow you, so take your time before getting onto the skin.
Have you ever had a bad tattooing experience, and what was it?
Yes, when I first got into shops. The first three shops I worked at stole my stuff and my comic book collection, and my record collection. I was just a young, naive kid, and I was desperate to get equipment.
What do you think is in store for the future of tattooing?
I really hope a lot. I want to travel, and I would love to bring my son with me so he can be more of a dynamic person and see that the world is a lot bigger than Indiana. ✕
