About Me
People ask me if I have always wanted to be an artist and I think they expect me to tell a story about how passionate, dedicated and creative I was a kid. The truth is that I discovered my passion for art late in life. It is something that I feel driven to do every day.
I’m constantly in awe of and grateful to the artists who have helped me follow my dreams and who have fostered my growth. My friend and mentor Ericksen Linn, who was crazy enough to take me on as an apprentice, never ceases to amaze me with his skill, enthusiasm, constant growth, and beautiful works of art. Cesar Valverde at Czer All School Tattoos & Art has patiently helped me figure out how to overcome some frustrating tattoo obstacles. He and his wife also provided a professional, clean, chill environment for me, but most importantly, they are two of the kindest and most honorable people I’ve ever known.
I have recently moved to Allentown, PA so I’ll be working with the awesome folks at:
Obsidian Tattoo and Piercing Parlor.
173 Main St, Emmaus, PA 18049
We’re located within easy driving distance from West Virginia, Delaware, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, and Maryland, so come visit. I offer video consultations, so if don’t live close to PA we can talk about your tattoo ideas before you make the trip to get your new artwork.
The best way to reach me is through the contact page here on my website, but I will also respond to messages through instagram.
