Other Passions
Electric Guitar
When I’m not tattooing, you’ll often find me immersed in the raw energy of my electric guitar.
Music has always been a creative outlet for me—a way to channel emotion and inspiration that often carries over into my artwork. Whether I’m riffing alone in the studio or jamming with friends, playing guitar keeps me grounded and connected to the same passion that fuels my tattooing. It’s all about expression, rhythm, and flow—whether it's through ink or sound.
Other Passions
The Discipline Behind the Art
Outside of tattooing, I’ve developed a deep passion for fitness and strength training.
Working out isn’t just about physical health — it’s a mindset of discipline, structure, and growth that carries into every aspect of my work. Tattooing requires precision, stamina, and control, and training in the gym helps sharpen all of those.
It’s become a personal outlet and a form of self-respect — a way to stay grounded, focused, and ready to show up for each client with full attention and energy.
A Passion for Design
Before tattooing ever became a career, design was something I naturally gravitated toward.
Whether it was sketching concepts or studying visual structure, creating art has always been a personal outlet — a way to express ideas and see them come to life on paper. Over time, that passion evolved into something deeper.
I now carry that same creative mindset into every tattoo I design. It allows me to approach each project with a clear visbion, blending aesthetics with meaning, and ensuring that every piece is both technically strong and artistically unique.
