Shop Manager at Smart Ink in Bensenville, Illinois. I started 15 years ago shooting photos for international tattooers at comic and pop culture conventions. They told me I should start tattooing. I listened. Now my back hurts.
I began apprenticing in 2019 and was fortunate to learn from artists around the world whose guidance helped shape my approach to craft, longevity, respect for the trade, and doing solid work that lasts. I’ve never had a bad day.
