Progression has been my obsession, I have been tattooing all day, every day for over 15 years now. I am not the same artist I was in the beginning that is for sure. I have moved into more painting inspired realism and detailed illustration fusing Japanese and traditional style with my own twist.

My sessions can be between 6-8 hours. I focus on mostly large-scale pieces now in my career. I have a lot of ongoing projects from the same clients. Sometimes we do 5 or 6 sessions one long day sittings.

A lot of the backend happens when the client is not around. After the consultation, initially a consultation – phone call or in-person and figure out the general composition, size, and area of the body. From there I will start with rough sketches, then spend anywhere from 5 – 10 hours finalizing and sketching out the idea. So there is definitely a good amount of work that goes into it before getting into the initial tattooing.
