I've been tattooing since 1995. Graduating into the industry in the ’90s, my roots in tattooing come from a time when an artist had to rely on a client's vague description for imagery. Using this as my foundation in tattooing, I’ve honed this skill to help clients tell their stories in a visual language. Working with a client to pull out a narrative has helped me build a strong following in my field.

Taking to the road pre-internet, I traveled to Japan, Brazil, Europe, and most of the States to seek out Tattoo Artists working at the top of their game. The knowledge I collected from these journeys has been crucial to my craft.

I currently own Ragtime Tattoo in St. Louis, Missouri.
