Hometown? Danville, KY

How long have you been a tattoo artist? I started my apprenticeship October 15th 2023

How did you get your start? Studio Ink is the start of my tattoo career, but I’ve been creating art since I was a kid

What is your favorite style of tattooing? I like cartoony and illustrative the best, new school and neo-traditional

What do you like to do outside of tattooing? Creating artwork, listening to music, and hanging out at home with my family.

What kind of music do you like? Like many people, I enjoy a variety of different genres, but my top 3 favorites would 70’s hard rock, 90’s grunge and modern Americana

Favorite movie? This is always a tough question, I can narrow it down to 3 of my go to comfort movies- Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty, and From Dusk till Dawn.

Most frequently asked question? “How much would this cost?”

Favorite quote? “Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”
Shel Silverstein
