About Me:

I've been tattooing fulltime since November of 2004. I apprenticed under RJ (Ron Johnson) at RJs Tattoo Studio in Harvard, Illinois 2003. Before that I got a BFA in Media Arts and Animation at the Illinois Institute of Art. I've always been creating artwork, but I really got into it freshman year of highschool. Once the ball really started rolling, there was no stopping me. Whether it is drawing, tattooing, or other media, I'm into it, and eating up every aspect of it.

My background as an artist is mostly in photorealism, but doing tattoos for so many different people has led me to explore many different styles. I really enjoy them all so far and love to try new art styles. I'm all about trying to get your ideas on paper so you'll know what you're getting into, so feel free to come to me with any idea, and i'll take it in the direction needed for it to be the tattoo you'll want.

Currently I am working at Spike-O-Matic in Madison, Wisconsin. It is associated with Steve's Tattoo in Madison and Oshkosh. I've been working there since its opening in September, 2007. I'm available for walk-ins and appoinments, but appointments are recommended if you don't want to wait. There are currently four other artists; Spike, Billy, Jack, and Lenny. All have thier own styles and are very talented and capable of most tattoos you would ask for. Also its a great atmosphere for a shop; lots of our own art, Hot rod art, Neo-traditional tattoo flash, Graffiti, Flash collected from Spike's stay in Sweden, and all sorts of other artwork is spread all over the shop. With four rooms for tattooing, a piercing room, and a lobby where you can browse portfolios and folders full of ideas. So come on in.
