I started at Fast Freddy's Superior Skin Art under the guidance of Wild Bill Debuc . Bill was mentored by Sailor Bill Killingsworth a legend in the Tattoo world, even to this day. I am honored to learn under these men , they taught me the in's and out's of tattooing and hustling. From there I moved back home to NC , then back down to Tallahassee, FL where I worked at Dixieland Capitol City Tattoo, where I decided as a young artist that I wanted to do whatever came through the door, all styles , I have never wanted to limit myself from being able to connect with my clients. I love doing portraits, Bio-mechanical, Japanese, old school tattoos, new school tattoos, tribal, Black and grey, Geo-metric and Color bomb tattoos, I tend to do a lot..
