The Artist

Two Decades of
Custom Tattoos

Having worked across North America and Europe for the last 25 years, I've had the chance to become inspired by both award-winning artists and amazing clients.

Art and tattooing have always been my passion. After 5 years of being a tattoo shop owner in Penticton, BC, I decided to get back to the core of what I love — tattooing.

I now call London, Ontario home, and tattoo out of Village Tattoo Company on Dundas Street. I offer tattoos in all styles but truly find my passion in Japanese, Traditional, Black & Grey, Colour, and Stylized Portrait tattoos.
