WHAT YEAR DID YOU START TATTOOING? 1992
WHERE ELSE DID YOU WORK BEFORE ROCK OF AGES TATTOO PARLOUR? I’ve worked at numerous studios around the world – Japan, Thailand, New Zealand, England, Holland, Austria, USA, and Canada. I ran my own studio ‘Tatudharma’ in Sydney for 10 years with a bunch of really incredible tattooists before moving to Lennox Head in 2011.
WHAT IS YOUR PREFERRED STYLE OF WORK? Large asian inspired tattoo, traditional Japanese designs, illustrative and botanical work – in short, anything I can re-design and make more interesting. I really enjoy doing coverup work, I find it satisfying to help people be happy with a design on their skin they may have disliked or regretted. All styles with a smile!
WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT WORKING AT ROCK OF AGES? Fantastic crew – all good vibes, inspired and family oriented. An amazing local community and having a beautiful beach across the road is great too!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHEN YOU’RE NOT TATTOOING? Spending time with my family, surfing, painting and drawing, practicing and teaching Taiji Boxing and meditation.
