I believe that when you know, you know! When I got it in my mind that I wanted to tattoo, it was life changing. A few times throughout life there are moments like these and they're incredibly powerful. That happened for me around the age of 15. Unfortunately, at that time, tattooing was illegal in the state of Massachusetts where I am from. I would get every tattoo magazine I could find and re-draw every design in it to practice.

In 2001, we were all lucky enough to see the tattoo ban lifted thanks to Stephan Lanphear. He sued the state for 10 years and we all owe him a huge thank you! Shortly after that I got an apprenticeship, and thats where my tattooing adventure began. During the summer of 2002 I had opportunities to travel some both to Martha's Vineyard and North Carolina to spend time with the 2 guys that have had the greatest impact on my career-- Stephan Lanphear and Little John Bury. Both of whom I've had the honor to work for. As of June 2009, you can now find me at Visions Tattoo in Medway Massachusetts.

For as long as I can remember, I have been drawing and creating. It has always been the perfect escape. I like to work with many different mediums and materials but usually end up mixing them together. Mostly, I work on mixed media sculptures with doll parts, bird cages, shadow boxes, found objects, fake flowers, paints, charcoal, pencil/colored pencils, etc etc... I could go on and on!! I have also enjoyed doing photography for many years. Mostly for fun, but I enjoy sharing what I have had the luck of documenting in my travels. Being an artist in every way I can is my life.. LIVE FOR THIS!!!!

In the 7 years of my career so far, I have strived to become a very well rounded tattoo artist and be able to work in almost any style. I do prefer bright color, black and gray, asian brush paint style, traditional, realistic, flowers, skulls, etc.. I work mainly on large-scale pieces that are designed to fit your body and yours alone. I really look forward to the process of collaborating with my clients, bringing their ideas to life, and watching the piece evolve. To date, I have had the honor of working at several conventions all over the east coast. I helped out with the first 2 Boston Conventions, tattooed at the Marked For Life Female Convention in Orlando Florida, Motor City Convention in Detroit, Inkin' The Valley in Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania and the North Carolina Convention in Greensboro presented by Little Johns Tattoo. I have also been honored to win several awards over the last few years at some of these conventions including 1st place Tattoo of the Day Friday at Marked For Life convention 2008, 2nd place Tattoo of the Day and Most Creative Artist of the year 2009 at the Marked for Life Convention and my favorite award Most Sensitive Tattoo Guy at the NC Tattoo Convention in 2006!!

I find nothing more satisfying than watching my client's ideas come to life as well as the joy I get seeing someone go to look at their new adornment for the first time and see a smile come over their face. I love what I do and I take nothing for granted!! So if you would like to acquire a piece of artwork or a tattoo, it would be my pleasure!
