I started an apprenticeship in late 1998 with my mentor Thomas ” Tommy 2 Guns” Mortenson in southern California and yes I am older. I was always in love with the lifestyle and subculture of tattooing so it was only natural that I was drawn to it. After many years of tattooing, traveling, and living like a hobo to learn from many about the craft all around the world, I decided to open up the shop June 6, 2004 i have been proudly providing all the tattoo needs and wants here in beautiful Hawaii Nei.
