Some stories are written with words.
Mine are written with ink.

I’ve been a professional tattoo artist for over 20 years, specializing in Black & Grey realism tattoos and Maori / Polynesian tattoo designs / full colors and Fine Line
But long before I held a machine, the art was already inside me — waiting for a way out.

Tattooing became a language between art and soul, a conversation made of lines, shadows, and meaning.
Every person who sits with me brings a universe: pain, love, rebirth, ancestry.
And my work as a Black & Grey tattoo artist is to translate that universe into something that lasts forever — a story written on skin.

Over the years, I learned that a tattoo is not just about technique or beauty.
It’s about honesty, respect, and connection.
When the needle touches the skin, it’s not just ink — it’s memory.
The skin remembers.

The Black & Grey tattoos became my voice — a way to speak through contrast and silence.
The Maori and Polynesian tattoos became my roots — symbols of strength, spirituality, and identity.
Full Color is a passion I carry in my heart — pure energy turned into art.

Fine Line, with its precision and grace, reveals the softness in my work that fills me with pride.
I love every one of these styles as if they were pieces of my own soul

Sometimes, when I finish a piece and see the reflection in someone’s eyes, I remember why I chose this path.
Because every tattoo I create — whether it’s a realism Black & Grey tattoo or a custom Maori design — Full colors or Fine Line is a connection between stories.
It’s a moment that lives forever in ink.

Art leaves marks.
Mine just happens to live on skin.
