Artist statement Everything popular is wrong. – Oscar wilde In an age of disposable trends and traditions I am so grateful to be a part of something that will never die. As an artist, tattooer and collector I feel a deep connection with my art and the people that wear it. As Tattooing has been practiced since the dawn of man I am honored to share a part in continuing this tradition and its evolution. This artform will always exist with or without restriction. It is something not only ingrained in almost every culture but in our very being. Tattooing is not simply for the visual aesthetic. You become a part of something greater and the art you have becomes a part of the rest of your life. I feel that as tattooed individuals we have become a community of beings with a deeper understanding of things. It is because of my beliefs in this artform that I have committed myself, through study and practice, to achieving the most aesthetically pleasing art while allowing your true message and individuality to be illuminated. I feel it is my duty to my clients and myself to be a lifetime student of the art, using the best techniques, tools and materials, all in a safe manner. My artwork is not designed to profit from trends or popularity. I design from my heart and consciousness as well as your own. Therefore I think a strong connection and understanding between the client and myself is necessary to produce extaordinary results just as a lukewarm connection or misunderstanding will produce mediocre results. This I believe will prove to create timeless pieces that will grow with you, not that you will grow out of the tattoo. In order to achieve these values my process takes a bit more time, patience and commitment than some others. If you would like to see what is involved please click on the "process" button. I thank everyone who has been a part of my career and my life. Without the support of many I would not possess this consiousness or any level of success. Thank you. |
