"'I started tattooing in 2003. I was able to hang out in a tattoo shop here in Auckland, and muck around, I picked up a few skills. My tattooing really took off when I was offered to learn in the Netherlands, I moved there 2005 and tattooed for almost 6 years there, some of the best years of my life!''
What came first music/art..
“I’d have to say the art, as it was accessed easier, I do remember a
distinct moment (11/12) when the music definitely came into my life.
What’s my style?
''I tend to steer towards the classics be it western traditional or
Japanese...
styles I won’t do.
''I won’t fuck around with indigenous stuff.... or white power shit. I
don’t do realism either hahahaha there are better tattooers out there to
do it!
mentors/influences.
‘’This list is far too broad and abstract for me to answer sorry......’
how do I get inspired for art and tattooing
“the inspiration is the pay check in a nutshell... if I don’t work I don’t
get paid...”
has it taken me around the world?
‘Yes I have travelled a lot with tattooing, my favourite place to tattoo
would be Amsterdam!”
weirdest request..
“An anchor on a highly coked out navy dudes dick........... yes, I did
it, as previously discussed my motivation is pay checks, and this I
charged ALOT for....
