Tattooing since 1997, I carry a lineage from Cliff Raven to Roy Boy Cooper, Fat Joe Scapini, and J Dragon. With 28 years of experience; 23 using electric machines and 5 with rotary pens. I specialize in American traditional, graffiti new school, comic art, fantasy, illustration, and ’80s-style tattooing. Born and raised in Chicago, I’m a father of four and lifelong artist who loves painting, drawing, record collecting, and exploring nature. An understudy of traditional Japanese tattoo under Jerry Lee Loggins, I’m currently working at Jerry Lee’s Tattoos in 2025.
