As a kid, I found inspiration in the worlds of art and music. Tattoos adorned my favorite musicians, and I knew I wanted to pursue a creative path. After a brief stint in manual labor, I managed to find an apprenticeship and got to work on my true passion: tattooing.
For the past 19 years, I have been dedicated to the art of tattooing in Central Florida, leaving a lasting impression on the vibrant tattoo community. As the co-owner and operator of The East Tattoo in Downtown Orlando, I have helped create a space where creativity thrives and clients' visions come to life.
At our large and welcoming studio, we pride ourselves on providing an exceptional tattooing experience. With a commitment to versatility, I approach each design with an artist's eye and a dedication to bringing out the uniqueness of every client.
I specialize in large-scale compositions. Infusing my designs with intricate elements, I create tattoos that are both captivating and timeless. I find great reward in creating full backs, arm and leg sleeves, and my passion lies in making large, bold tattoos on cool people. I employ styles from various artistic realms, including the bright and expressive New Skool, as well as the bold and timeless American or Japanese traditional. Embracing the fluidity of artistry, I also incorporate elements of realism into my work, ensuring that each piece tells a captivating story on its wearer's skin. Smooth color transitions, full saturation, and a delicate-yet-powerful aesthetic define my work, creating tattoos that are not only visually striking but also stand the test of time.
Favorite subjects of mine include animals and pet portraits, skulls, snakes, flowers, cartoons, horror, and pop culture.
Recognized for my light touch, I prioritize the comfort and satisfaction of my clients throughout the tattooing process. Our studio offers a comfortable atmosphere with communal spaces for interaction with other artists and clients. Additionally, I can provide a private room experience for those seeking a more intimate and boutique setting. Whether you prefer the vibe of an old-school tattoo studio, complete with lively conversations, or a quiet and private experience, I can accommodate your preferences.
While my career has afforded me the opportunity to tattoo a diverse clientele, including musicians, filmmakers, artists, and fellow tattooers, my focus remains on the art itself. I believe that the stories we etch onto the canvas of skin are what truly matter, and I am honored to play a role in the narrative of each individual who sits in my chair.
