![]() ![]() I’ve actually attended career day a few times as a tattooer. I’ve tried to make it more normal to see. You don’t go to career day to be a tattooer. He wanted to look at my portfolio, look at some things I did, and he’s like, “Hey, have you ever thought about tattooing?” And I’m like, “Yeah.” You never know how to go about it, because there’s not a form you fill out. I just ended up going in, getting tattooed, and talking with a local guy who owned the shop. I didn’t want to be that guy that was riding on the coattails of other people’s work. I think, because coming from a family of artists, I wanted to do something that wasn’t what they were doing. I think those tattoos, and even those tribalesque tattoos, like stylized little tribal fish and animals, even those were really cool. Yeah, and they’re all tatted up with these smaller tattoos. Oh Yeah, a little one this big on someone’s bicep, it’s like, “Whoa!”. ![]() Even those small tattoos seemed so big back then. You could see, even in high school, you’d see little trinket-type tattoos. Where did you first see tattoos on people around you? I was trying to find what that was, and I knew I wanted to do something with art, growing up in an artistic family, and was somehow just kinda drawn to tattooing, because it was something I hadn’t seen, you know, I wasn’t exposed to it. They were like, “We want you to do what makes you happy”. So, I never had that, like, pressure to do-be a doctor or lawyer. My mom’s a teacher, my dad’s a charter boat captain, and even though it was hard, they enjoyed what they were doing. It just wasn’t my thing, and I grew up in a family of people that were doing what they love to do for a living. So, I was in college, I was playing sports in college and it was fine. It was one of those times in my life where I was at the pivotal point of- What did I want to do for the rest of my life? Everyone told you you needed to go to college, find a career, do this, do that. ![]() Firstly, what inspired you to pursue tattooing, and how did you get into it?
