I AM A SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA NATIVE, BORN WITH A PENCIL IN HAND AND AN ENDLESS PASSION FOR CREATING. I WAS RAISED ON ROCK & ROLL, SKATING, AND LATE NIGHTS DRAWING AND LEARNING ABOUT THE ARTISTS WHO INSPIRE ME.
I BEGAN TATTOOING IN 2005 AND COMMITTED TO IT FULL-TIME IN 2008, WHILE STUDYING ART IN COLLEGE. WITHOUT A FORMAL APPRENTICESHIP, MY EDUCATION CAME FROM WORKING ALONGSIDE SOME OF THE MOST TALENTED ARTISTS IN THE WORLD—MENTORS AND FRIENDS WHOSE INFLUENCE SHAPED MY CRAFT AND DEEPENED MY RESPECT FOR THIS ART FORM.
MY STYLE IS MULTIFORM—A UNIQUE BLEND OF TECHNIQUES DRAWN FROM MULTIPLE TATTOO GENRES AND FINE ART DISCIPLINES.
IN 2011, I WON THE INTERNATIONALLY TELEVISED TATTOO COMPETITION BEST INK, AN EXPERIENCE THAT OPENED DOORS TO TRAVEL THE GLOBE AND CREATE PERMANENT WORK FOR CLIENTS FROM EVERY WALK OF LIFE—CELEBRITIES, ATHLETES, MUSICIANS, AND MORE. MY WORK HAS BEEN PUBLISHED INTERNATIONALLY, HONORED WITH AWARDS, AND IS WORN BY PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD. I CREATED THE ILLUMINATI LIGHT KIT FOR OTHER TATTOOERS AND I CREATED, OWN AND OPERATE GHOSTLINE, A UNIQUE AND HELPFUL TOOL THAT IS A TATTOO STENCIL GENERATOR IOS APPLICATION THAT IS USED BY COUNTLESS TATTOOERS ALL OVER THE WORLD.
IN 2016, I OPENED THE BLACK LANTERN, MY TATTOO & FINE ART STUDIO WHERE TRUE ARTISTRY AND INTENTION MEET. IT HOUSES A UNIQUE ENVIRONMENT WHICH FOSTERS TRUST, RESPECT, AND UNBRIDLED CREATIVITY. IT IS SACRED GROUND, LOCATED ON THE GORGEOUS COAST OF ORANGE COUNTY, CA IN A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE BEACH TOWN KNOWN AS DANA POINT.
TATTOOING, TO ME, IS SACRED AND I’VE DEDICATED MY LIFE TO IT. I STRIVE FOR CONSTANT GROWTH—AS AN ARTIST AND AS A HUMAN— IN HOPES OF REFINING MY SKILLS WHILE EXPLORING NEW AESTHETICS AND TECHNIQUES; TO ENSURE MY CLIENTS RECEIVE MY VERY BEST.
BEYOND THE STUDIO, I AM A DEVOTED HUSBAND & FATHER, MEDIOCRE SURFER, WORLD TRAVELER, AND A DIEHARD MUSIC NERD. I’M ALSO THE CREATOR OF GHOSTLINE, A DIGITAL TOOL DESIGNED TO HELP TATTOO ARTISTS SAVE TIME, STREAMLINE THEIR PROCESS, AND HELP ELEVATE THE CRAFT. IT’S MY WAY OF GIVING BACK TO THE INDUSTRY THAT HAS GIVEN ME SO MUCH.

For me, tattooing is more than just art on skin—it’s a deeply collaborative process rooted in trust, intention, and craft. I approach each project with care, aiming to build something timeless and personal that resonates with my clients long after they leave the studio. Whether we’re working on a single piece or curating a larger collection, I value the journey we take together.
