Hi,

My interest in tattooing began not long after getting my first tattoo back in 2001. I had my first session done by Tony a few years later and had a life changing conversation. After this chat (4 hours), I had a clearer picture of the path I was going to follow in order to become a tattoo artist.

I studied visual art and photography for a year under Sine Black where I learnt how to apply the elements and principles of design and explored a variety of mediums. I continued to get tattooed at the same time and with the right attitude and artwork behind me Tony took me on.

My artistic inspirations include Edvard Munch, Ergon Schiele and Mark Ryden. Their work heavily influences my style and is always on my mind when creating a unique design.

I admire tattooists such as Keko, JK5, and Lucky Diamond Rich. I’m interested in styles such as New Skool, Traditional and anything bold, black and weird.

If you want something weird drawn up, I’m your man!
