I began my apprenticeship in 2013, starting in a way that is rare today in tattooing, considered "Old School". I spent my days drawing, cleaning tubes, assembling needles, and attending numerous seminars to learn how to build my own coil machines. After a year of mastering the tools and equipment of the trade, I picked up the tattoo machine and applied it to skin for the first time! On the anniversary of my apprenticeship in 2014, I tattooed myself as my first canvas. In 2019, I opened my own shop, and the journey from there is still unfolding.
