'I started tattooing in 2004, out of a shop in Hesperia, California.  In 2011 I started concentrating on realism, and determined that was what I preferred to do.  I enjoy doing anything realism, especially portraits and horror.  It gives me great pleasure to see something come to life on the skin.  Getting away from tattooing I also paint and use prisma colors. I have owned and operated my own studio since 2008, Human Canvas Tattoo which is located in Cody, Wyoming.  I am an award winning artist, have been published internationally and in several other tattoo magazines.  I am currently sponsored by Dragonfly Machines and Fusion Tattoo Ink.  I enjoy traveling and doing guest spots with the various artists that I have met through the industry.'
