I was born in ‘83 and was raised in Penang,Malaysia; I’ve always been into art, ever since I was little; always doodling comics on any piece of paper I could find. My appreciation for art really started when I got into collecting comic books.I loved the style of art; my favorite had to be the Conan comics.
After I graduated high school , I went to Inti International College,but eventually screw up in the studies.actually i don't even like it. I thought I would be doing it forever and eventually one day i just quit.I remember when I was about 19 years old,life sucks. On that time,lots of my friends had tattoos,for myself thinking getting one too,so secretly get a tattoo done.It was all over after that. I was hooked and I thought that was just the coolest job ever. I always paid close attention to the art and the process of tattooing, not knowing I would ever actually be doing it. I didn't really know how to start, but knew it was for me. One day, in the beginning of 2003 I bum into a tattoo artist from Japan(Chong), he offered to teach me, after a random talk about it,he started to teach me some basic of tattoing and the history of it. It was a short apprenticeship, a few months of training, Right away, I went and bought all the necessary equipment and started tattooing on all my buddies, after work and on weekends. Within a year, I was able to quit my job and do this full-time. It has been great, and has turned my life into an art world. Most of the time it doesn't even seem like work, it’s more like, I get to do a great hobby all day, every day.(Said by Delvies)
For my tattoo inspirations there are so many awesome tattoo artists to list and that I look up to; but to name a few,would have to be: Bob Tyrrell, Robert Hernandez,Legendary Paul Booth,Nikko,Guy Atchison,Yang Zuo(China),Shige(Japan),Little Dragon(China),Diauan(Taiwan) And last, but not least,Ah Chong(Japan). If it wasn't for him, I would still be diggin’
And now I’m hoping to expand my abilities, to achieve the utmost realistic pieces on skin. Portraits, animals and dark images are my favorite things to do; anything that is real. With all the amazing artists out there and the great artists I mentioned above, who produce kick ass work, day in and day out, it drives me to do great work and to push the limits as well.Thanks all of you guys.
