Born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Derrick is a mixed media artist whose creative journey spans painting, drawing, photography, graphic design—and, of course tattooing. With over 20 years of experience in design, he brings bold visual storytelling and refined precision to every piece he creates.

Before stepping fully into tattooing, Derrick spent two decades in ministry as a pastor and leader—a background that continues to shape his work with purpose, connection, and a deep sense of care.
