Hello, always drawing more than doing my chores, art has always been a huge part of my life. I knew I wanted to pursue my natural talent, but wasn't sure what to do with it. After graduating from high school in up-state New York, I decided to enroll for my BA in fine arts at Oswego State college. I knew majoring in art was risky, I knew the chances of making a career as an artist were slim to none. So I geared my schooling towards education, hoping to someday teach high school art classes. During my third year of college I decided to get my first tattoo. Once I saw how a tattoo was created, I instantly became obsessed with every aspect of tattooing. I bought my first tattoo machine and started tattooing... I finished college with a fine arts degree, only to continue tattooing to this day (7 years later). I greatly enjoy putting art on someone that they carry with them day to day. It is the most fulfilling thing I could have ever done with my life. After being able to open a shop with my fiancé and share a passion for art, all I can say is... Life is good.
