Mike

Mike has only been tattooing for a couple of years, but his rapid growth comes from hands-on experience in the shop, starting as shop help and earning his place through dedication and hard work during his apprenticeship. He loves working in black and grey, traditional styles, and especially lettering which has been in high demand lately. Outside of tattooing, Mike continues to sharpen his creative skills through drawing and learning graphic design, allowing him to expand both his technical range and artistic perspective.

Mike is most inspired by collaboration. Working directly with clients to help bring their vision to life is what motivates him the most, and seeing someone leave excited and proud of their tattoo is the most rewarding part of the process for him.

When he’s not in the shop, Mike enjoys skating whenever time allows and continuing to draw outside of work. One thing most clients wouldn’t expect is his extensive military background. Mike served three years in the Navy, four years in the Army, and is currently in the National Guard. He has been deployed to Afghanistan and has completed over 30 airborne jumps from aircraft.

His discipline, focus, and commitment carry through in both his life and his work, making him a driven artist with a powerful story behind the craft.
