From my early days in Pittsburgh, under the guidance of my mentor Big Tony at Tattoo You, I learned more than craft — I learned purpose. He shaped not just my technique, but my resolve to survive and thrive in a world that craves art.

Since then, I’ve carried my ink across state lines, assimilating the stories, energy, and spirit of every person I’ve tattooed. My body of work is woven from pieces of all those lives, stitched into surfaces through my machine.

I thrive in versatility — yet the forms that call to me most deeply are biomechanical graffiti, new school, and expansive black & grey work. These styles allow me to balance boldness, narrative, depth, and texture.

But the work is about more than lines on skin. Tattooing has been my family, my challenge, my solace. What I bring into every session is more than skill — it’s empathy, connection, and respect. My mission is to serve this community, to elevate your story through ink, and to leave behind something lasting — not just on the body, but in the heart.
