Born in 1972 in Florida and have lived in and around Raleigh for the better part of my life. Graduated high school in 1991 and began tattooing in May of 1992. Studied art throughout high school and went for 1 year of college for commercial art at International Fine Arts College in Miami. Between my first and second year of school I was offered a job at a tattoo studio and decided that tattooing was more important to me than commercial art and have been tattooing ever since. I have been published in various magazines and recently took second place in Celtic work at the 2003 Greensboro North Carolina tattoo convention. I enjoy doing all styles of tattooing, though lately I am really into traditional tattoos. In September of 2002 I started a year long watercolor project of a 4 by 6 inch painting a day for the next year. When done in 2003 I am hoping to have these paintings published and have my first solo gallery showing in late 2003 early 2004 of all 365 paintings. Wish me luck.
