I have been tattooing since late 2003. While much of my art tends to lean towards the dark and macabre, I enjoy working in many different styles and try to stay versatile so that I can better approach a wide variety of projects. I feel that the interaction between myself and many clients has exposed me to images and disciplines that I may not have encountered on my own. I value that interaction and my ultimate goal with each tattoo is to render the client's idea as closely as possible to their original vision, while still maintaining the traditional elements of tattooing necessary for longevity. In additon to tattooing, I enjoy working in virtually every other artistic medium. I have always loved art and it has been an integral part of my life. I have had the good fortune of learning from many amazing artists through my still evolving career. However, it is in my current company that I feel the most privileged. The crew of Short North Tattoo is the most dedicated, talented, and appreciative group of artists that I have ever seen, and it is an honor to be part of something so unique.
