About me

My journey

I fell in love with tattooing as a kid after watching my mom get tattooed — it felt cool, mysterious, and powerful. That spark pushed me to start tattooing friends back in high school around 2005, and by 2008 I was working in my first shop. I’ve been based at Fuzion Tattoo in Grove City since 2012, building my craft and living by one lesson: tomorrow isn’t promised, so we have to do our best today.

My art and style

My passion lies in black and grey realism, dark art, and big bold traditional imagery. I love tattooing all styles but my favorite is realism. My goal is to create tattoos that hit with heavy contrast and oversized impact — work you can recognize from across the street. Whether it’s realism or bold traditional, I design pieces that carry presence, attitude, and timeless strength.

Building trust

When it comes to clients, I keep things professional, clean, and simple. I give clear instructions throughout the process (with a pretty awesome sense of humor depending on who you ask), and I only use the best supplies to make sure you’re comfortable from start to finish. I love when clients bring reference ideas, because it helps me create custom designs tailored to them. My booking process is as easy as it gets — you text me your idea, I estimate cost and time, then you pick a date, pay the booking fee, and we’re set. The fee goes toward the design time, because just like any craft, the art starts long before the needle hits the skin.
