Caption: I'll start with my passion for tattoos, I've been getting them since I was around 15 years of age, I didn't know at the time I would end up one day doing it as a valued career, life is funny how it shapes out of the tiniest little spark of interest. I've always loved to draw and hang out at a local shop in town after school. I enjoyed the application. Always a welcoming social atmosphere full of happy people, all living very interesting lives, and doing something very unique to make a living. 🎨

Caption: Last year I visited a long time friend and owner of Lost Kings Tattoo in Lompoc, CA. While I was there I had the pleasure of working with a client who had a specific idea for a bouquet of flowers that resemble a watercolor painting. The catch was to capture bold "inked" lines and "bleeding" colors. All to be done in one sitting of three hours! I had so much fun! Flowers are always beautiful and timeless designs. They can be done in many styles, multiple sizes ,shapes and countless colors. 🌺

Caption: Portraits are unique to each individual for their meaning and appearance, most clients get portraits to memorialize people or pets that have passed to never be forgotten. Realism based tattoos can also be utilized to capture beautiful landscapes, or recreating images from photographs and various images, as long as the quality of the image is clean and detailed. This tattoo was of Salvador Dali, a great painter and artisan who not only was inspiration for the client, but for me as well.

Caption: 4TH STREET I pride myself in offering the best handcrafted designs when given the opportunity. 13 years of experience, a pen and confidence in my craft has given me ability to draw most designs directly onto the clients skin. I love filling odd spaces with custom tattoos that are very unique and special to the occasion. I'm very grateful for all the wonderful friends and clients along the way that lent their trust, patience and positive feedback. I can't wait to see what the future holds in 2014 ✌️
