10.5 years an Artist and Just Beginning

I’ve spent the last 10 years of my life dedicating myself to the arts. My career starts with tattooing at a shitty Street shop job that I held for 6 years while I worked on my skills. I was dead broke and barely making it, having the time of my life. After I became a veteran at the shop, I felt the need to grow. So it was time for me to go.

I left and moved into a shop with artists far more talented than my self to start the process all over again. I moved to Classic Tattoo in North Olmstead OH, which is ran by its 3rd owner Alfonso lugo. I continued to refine my skills while I was there, under the guidance of multiple creatives for the next 4.5 years, and thousands of tattoos, my career is reaching the restarting point again. I felt the need to continue growing.

So now I’m out on my own taking on the endeavor of being an entrepreneur and full time artist and tattooer. Starting from the bottom again to see how far this chapter takes me. I never plan on quitting the arts so forward is the only way. Only 60 or so years to figure it out, so here’s to step 3.
