Bio

A 20+ year veteran of tattooing, I was born and raised in central WV. After High School I attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh to study Industrial Design and Illustration. I completed my apprenticeship under Jason Roderick formerly of German St. Inksmiths in Shepherdstown WV and Cherry Bomb in Martinsburg, WV.
After my apprenticeship, I bounced around until I opened my
own studio in 2007, Pirate Tattoo in Western Maryland.
In 2013 my family and I decided it was time for a change of scenery. We relocated to Jacksonville, NC, and I have been a resident artist at Hardwire ever since. I enjoy working in all styles of tattoo, including, but not limited to Black & Grey, Color, Traditional, Japanese and New School. My schedule is Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, shop hours. Appointments are highly encouraged but I am able to accommodate walk-ins.
