Trying to write something about yourself is like trying to find your way out of the dark by staring into the flashlight. So I guess I'll start with the basics. I own and help run Phoenix Tattoo Company with my business partner Marko Au in Tempe AZ. I've been lucky enough to find great people to work with everyday that inspire me to create. I've been tattooing since 1998, I push myself to learn and grow as an artist everyday.

NOW, if your actually interested in knowing who I am as an artist, I can tell this. I like to push boundaries, I am constantly experimenting with ideas, I do not like to follow trends especially in the tattoo industry. Creating is my greatest passion, and make no apologies for putting the evolution of my art ahead of everything else. I live a full and colorful life rich with experiences, I have the luxury of having a career that allows me the opportunity to travel. I spend an exhausting amount of time thinking up and designing original tattoos for my clients. (which I hope is apparent in the examples on this website) I work very hard to give my very best and I spare no time to suffer fools.
