BIO

  i was born and raised in New York City then moved to Fl. in 1988 to Jacksonville where i got into graffiti then moved to Tampa, Fl. back in '97 an united up with my brother Malo where he taught me how to use a Tattoo machine.. i then was taken to Monte who was managing "Valhalla" Tattoo & Body piercing and Dan moore who taught me the basics of tattooing... i pushed myself to learn for it was a form of art i didnt know much of an felt it was something i could enjoy..

While working there things changed for the worse so i left an Tattooed out of my house for a short time an then was asked to join the crew at "Concrete Ink" Tattooing & Body piercing,  where things felt weird there as well so i left there too.. i wasnt fired or let go, i just quit both spots..

After that Monte asked if i'd like to be part of his crew at "Shiva's Pain" Tattooing & Body Piercing along with Shawn Edwards, Malo and Linda White.. i worked the south florida Tattoo convention, time passed an Monte opened up a 2nd Shiva's on Dale Mabry an i took it over an it became "Tatooine Custom Tattoos" for a short time due to a not so great area an lack of artist, i couldnt carry the shop alone so after 2 years i gave up the shop .

I asked Skip Sampson an Dee Mckinzie of "1603 Tattooing & Body Piercing" in ybor city, back in 2007 if i may join their crew an worked there for 2 years, with Casper, jill Trilling, Dee mckinzie, Skip Sampson  i did Tampa's Tattoo Convention in March with Casper an enjoyed it.

Now ive moved to california in march of 2009 an landed at "12 Monkeys Tattoos" in Tracy, along side with Jon highland, Salt rock and Shawn Edwards again..
