PORTFOLIO

I am committed to promoting unconventional tattooing practices. For me that’s what tattooing has always represented, pop shops, carnivals, dime museums, the odd, the uncommon, the grotesque and overall just very good storytelling through imagery. Traditional tattooing originated as a form of artistic expression that challenged societal norms and critiqued various aspects of American culture, including the pursuit of the American dream, sex, politics, drugs, rock and roll music…I’d like to continue changing the idea of  the “Boys Club Only” narrative of tattooing by poking fun at the subculture even more. My goal is to further expand these ideas by incorporating imagery that celebrates queer love, juxtaposes unusual visual experiences encountered during travel, the realm of hallucinogens, the human experience, dreams, and erotic art.
