It all started when…

Since I was a young child I wanted to tattoo people. I saw my uncle get one at tattoo Charlie’s place and was hooked. After a career as a drummer I started tattooing in 1999 and never looked back. I’m deeply rooted in the history of tattooing and have studied it most of my life. I strive to evolve with the tattoo industry without compromising the foundation of the artform that was laid before me. After 24 years Its now my honor to work alongside Gale Watkins, the first female tattoo artist in Maryland, at Gemini Tattoo, the second oldest tattoo shop in Maryland. I enjoy doing colorful tattoos , all things cartoon related and scar cover ups but take pride in being able to work the old school method of tattooing most things that walk through the door. I have experience tattooing any nationality or skin tone. I look forward to seeing you in the shop.
