I have been tattooing since 1992. My first year and a half I spent learning from JR Grove. JR started his tattooing career with Capt. Jim, Tennessee Dave, and apprenticed under Tattoo Mark Renolds in Los Angeles and from there he went on to work at Capt. Jim’s shop on the Pike in Long Beach. In the fall of 1994 I went to work for JR's son Mike Pike at Psycho City in Lancaster, CA, and continued tattooing there with a great crew of artists until spring of 2005. I opened my own private studio/ gallery in Nov. of 2005, in southern Oregon. In summer of 2009 I closed my studio and joined up with an amazing artist and friend, Jeff Gogue.
Over the past 18 years or so I have traveled for conventions and guest spots all over the states, and I have tattooed in and visited, Canada, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, and France. I will update my travel schedule in the news section so check back often.
