Hello and welcome to my site.

I have been tattooing 10 years. For me, tattoo is ritual. I am being entrusted with the marking of another person’s body for the rest of their life. I take that duty very seriously. To do quality and conscious body art in a safe and clean studio space is an honorable way to make a living.

Each tattoo is a story, a piece of the unconscious made solid in flesh. Tell me your story, what’s important for you and I will help bring it to life, to flesh.

My own art story has been quite a journey, there’s lots of history. I have been a working artist my whole adult life. New York. Seattle. Portland. The theatre biz, rock and roll posters, painting murals and theatre sets. Then the tattoo story. Apprenticeship. The long Seattle years. But I’d rather tell you those stories in person. Want to grab a coffee and look at my portfolio?

I travel a lot. All over the US and a little in Europe, working one on one with clients on custom pieces. I have the best clients in the world, I love the special work we get to do together. Maybe I’ll be in your city. Maybe you’ll be in mine. I am starting to spend a lot of time in Hawaii. Check out www.skindeeptattoo.com

My tattoo studio is small and private and fully licensed in SouthEast Portland, see the Temple section of the website for more info.

If you like my work, I hope you contact me.

Thank you for the opportunity.
