ABOUT

Every tattoo begins long before the needle touches the skin.

For me, tattooing is more than creating images — it is translating stories, memories and identity into something permanent.

I focus on individuality, symbolism and creating pieces that feel deeply personal rather than simply decorative.

BEHIND THE SCENES

Nicole is my wife and an essential part of everything happening behind the scenes.

She manages the entire client experience — from the first conversation and project coordination to scheduling and communication throughout the process.

She is also the mother of our two children, and family will always remain at the center of everything we build together.

While I focus on creating and tattooing, she carries an incredible part of everything surrounding it — making sure each project feels personal, cared for and genuinely looked after.

She is far more than support behind the scenes — she is a fundamental part of the experience itself.
