Andrew has wanted to be a tattoo artist since he was a young teenager, finding an admiration for his family member’s tattoos and the art form’s permanency. While in college, he studied with artists to work on drawing and painting skills, inspired by traditional tattoo flash. After graduating magna cum laude with a graphic design degree, he wanted to pursue tattooing full time and made it his goal to end up in a studio.

Andrew primarily studies Japanese tattooing and enjoys the bold nature of the style. Each subject matter has its own story and interpretation to give meaning and importance to the piece.
