I’m originally from Texas, where I spent 11 years as a high school teacher before stepping away from the classroom to pursue tattooing full time. After making the move to New York, I apprenticed at one of the top shops in the capital, learning under some of the best artists and people I’ve ever met. That experience shaped both my approach and respect for the craft.

I’ve been tattooing for the past few years, focusing primarily on black and gray realism. I’m drawn to the depth, contrast, and detail that realism allows, but I’m always open to working in different styles and collaborating with clients to bring their ideas to life.

My background in teaching still shows up in my work—I value patience, attention to detail, and taking the time to get things right. As a husband and father of two, I also care a lot about connection and meaning in what I create. For me, tattooing isn’t just about the image—it’s about creating something lasting that we are both very proud of.

First session to start this sleeve! Had a blast!
