About Me



I moved to SF from my home in NYC in 89', began Tattooing at Erno Tattoo in 90'. In 1993 I was asked to work at Ed Hardy's Tattoo city. There with Freddy Corbin, Dan Higgs, Eddy Deutche and Igor Mortis (and of course Ed Hardy) til around 1995, then Chris Conn and Colin Stevens Joined the fray. In 1996 I bought a shop in NYC called East Side Inc from Andrea Elston, all the while still working at Tattoo City. In 1998 I moved back to NYC to run East Side Full Time. There with Patrick Conlon, Andrea Elston, Scott (Scooter) Campbell, Josh Lord and Jen Terban. In 2002 I closed the shop to move back out to Cali. This time,  LA was my destination. I worked at both Shamrock Social club (Chris Garver, Paul, Juan Puente, Mark Mahoney and others) and True Tattoo (Clay Decker, Chris Garver, Kat, Trevor and a seemingly unending supply of guest artists), but for only a few months. I also worked down near San Diego With my Homies Jerry, Hatch, and Danny (Love you guys!) until 2006. Now I'm back in NY (Brooklyn) and am tattooing at INKSTOP Tattoo on 13th and A in Manhattan. I do travel, and will be at Temple Tattoo in Oakland, when in SF- At Perfection, when in Austin- At True, when in LA- At my bro Drew's house, when in Denver.  I am taking appointments. If interested in seeing more work or getting work done, just message me, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
