B.F.A. Fine Arts- Robert Morris University Class of 2004

OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Instructor since 2013

I began my tattoo career in 2006, after completing my Bachelors of Fine Arts from Robert Morris University, in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. I spent the next 11 years traveling and tattooing at studios and conventions across the country before settling down and opening up The Black Labyrinth in Easthampton, MA with my partner Rachael, in 2017.

While I have always been a versatile artist, I have spent the last few years focusing my craft and style, to create the work that you see today. My interests are in creating bold, long lasting tattoos. Whether these projects are more illustrative, ornamental, geometric, or rooted in traditional tattoo imagery, they all share the common ground of being done primarily in black ink. I do occasionally work in color for select projects. My current portfolio is a good indication of the types of projects that I love working on.

The projects that I am currently taking on can range in size, but I will be prioritizing large scale work. The most important thing for me in choosing a project, is an idea that I can connect with. I want to be able to give you the best tattoo that I can, and I feel my work truly shines, when I am passionate about the subject matter of the project.

I thank you all for your continued interest in my work, and your desire to get tattooed by me. Even though I am unable to take on every project, I do love to hear your ideas. If I feel that the project is a good match for my abilities, interests, and style, we can work together on your next tattoo.
