About Me

I'm a professional tattooist celebrating 14 years tattooing in this beautiful little town. I actually got my start hanging out at Louie Lombi's Tattoo Paradise in West Palm Beach, Fl. And I thank Louie & Ed Lombi (Tattooparadise.com), Robert Balter (Modernagetattoos.com), Kevin and Kelly Buskstrup (Abouttimetattoos.com)for putting up with this kid who would hang out pretty much all the time just to be around all that great art, educating me on what a good tattoo was supposed to look like, and for helping me get my apprenticeship in NC.I own my own studio, Two Kings Tattooing, named after my 2 sons. We've been open since May 2004 and we've got a great crew here that is like family..Brian, Mike and Eli!I also have a beautiful wife, Biz, whom I love and adore more than she'll ever, ever know.
