30 Years of Tattooing
Honoring My Journey, Mentors, and Clients.
Celebrating Three Decades of Ink and Artistry:
Reaching the 30-year milestone as a tattoo artist is an achievement that fills me with immense gratitude and reflection. Over the past three decades, I’ve dedicated my life to mastering the craft of tattooing, pushing artistic boundaries, and helping my clients express themselves through ink. From my earliest days as an apprentice to now mentoring the next generation, this journey has been nothing short of incredible.
Whether you’re a longtime client or someone searching for the best tattoo artist near you, my experience, dedication, and passion for body art make me the perfect choice for your next tattoo.
Honoring the People Who Made This Journey Possible.
My Mentor: The Foundation of My Career.
To my mentor Deana Lippens & George Chambon (RIP), who took a chance on me and instilled the discipline, techniques, and values that define my work today, I am forever grateful. Your guidance laid the foundation for my success, and every tattoo I create is a tribute to the knowledge you passed down.
My Support System: Family and Loved Ones.
To my wife Angela, parents Joe (RIP) & Barbara (RIP) and family, who have supported me through every challenge and triumph, I could not have done this without you. Your unwavering belief in me has been my greatest strength, pushing me to grow as an artist and a person. Your love and encouragement have been the foundation upon which I’ve built this career, and I am endlessly thankful.
I also take immense pride in my protege Craig Prentiss, who represents the future of this craft. His work ethic, respect, integrity, and embracing the artistry of tattooing reminds me why I fell in love with this profession in the first place. It was an honor to pass down the knowledge I’ve gained over the years, just as my mentor Deana did for me.
My Clients: The Heart of My Career.
To my friends, loyal clientele, both longtime supporters and new faces, I owe you everything. Your trust in my craft, your stories, and your willingness to wear my art with pride have fueled my passion for 30 years. Each piece I’ve inked is more than just a design—it’s a collaboration, a memory, and a testament to the power of body art.
