About me

I'm a traditional tattoo artist specializing in Japanese and Americana fusion work. My journey began when I did my first tattoo at 13 on my dad. It was moth to a flame and I've been a lost cause ever since.

I formally apprenticed under my father in 2013 and worked with him until 2020. After I left the nest, I spent time devoting myself to , I founded Blind Tiger Tattoo Co. in 2023 as Greenville's first downtown tattoo shop since legalization. My work draws from history, mythology, and culture, preserving traditional techniques while pushing creative boundaries.

My philosophy: traditional isn’t a design choice. It is a practice. I apply my tattoos with the same principles that were handed down to me from generations of artists who are some of the best and shaped tattooing today. Clean lines, bright colors, smooth shading and enough skin tone for the design to last a lifetime.

My mission is simple: create exceptional tattoos while building a sustainable path for the next generation of artists. A path where they can thrive, not just survive.
