I STARTED TATTOOING IN 2008 AND HAVE SPENT A LOT OF THIS TIME WORKING IN MY HOMETOWN OF ROTORUA. BEFORE I STARTED AT GOOD HONEST TATTOO I SPENT A YEAR AND A HALF WORKING PART TIME AT SKINKS TATTOO LOUNGE IN HAMILTON, AND AT THE SAME TIME MAINTAINING MY EVER GROWING CLIENT BASE IN ROTORUA.
I STARTED TATTOOING BECAUSE I LOVE THE ART FORM AND THE DRIVE TO BETTER MYSELF NEVER RUNS THIN. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING TO LEARN AND SO MUCH TO DISCOVER. YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A HELL OF A CAREER WHEN YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU’RE PASSIONATE ABOUT ON PEOPLE WHO GIVE YOU THEIR TRUST TO MARK THEM ETERNALLY, AND TRULY APPRECIATE YOUR WORK.
PEOPLE WHO TATTOO WILL NEVER STARVE FOR INSPIRATION OR MOTIVATION AND I LOVE THAT ABOUT IT.
MY ENJOYMENT LIES WITH THE STYLE OF NEW SCHOOL TATTOO ART.
WHEN DESIGNING A PIECE I WILL ALWAYS IMPLEMENT ELEMENTS OF THIS STYLE, AND WHEN I DRAW IN MY SPARE TIME IT IS THE EXAGGERATION AND THE BRIGHT, FUN ATMOSPHERE OF NEW SCHOOL THAT I DRAW ON FOR CREATION.
FOR ME THE ABILITY TO TRANSFORM THE SERIOUS POINTS OF LIFE INTO A GOOFY CARTOON NEVER LOSES ITS APPEAL ;-)
