Since 2007, I’ve dedicated my career to creating fully custom body art. Operating out of Black Sails Studio in Sayville, NY, I hold the tradition of tattooing with deep respect. I strive to put my absolute best into every single project, honoring the trust you place in me by creating a one-of-a-kind piece you will love forever.

Why Work With Me?

• A Passion for Drawing: In a world that seems to be taking a step back from what the human hand is capable of. I passionately hand-draw every project from scratch, loving the creative process of turning a blank page into your future tattoo.

• Honored Trust: Tattooing you is a privilege that gets my full focus and artistic energy.

• Built to Last: My 20 years of experience ensure your tattoo looks amazing today and stays crisp for years to come.

• True Partnership: I believe in collaboration. I blend your vision with my artistic interpretation and expertise for a piece tailored perfectly to fit your body.

• Great Experience: Large tattoos take time, so I keep the environment comfortable, welcoming, and fun.

Favorite Styles

• Illustrative Work: Epic fantasy stories, mythical creatures, and imaginative worlds brought to life through hand-drawn art.

• Black & Gray Realism: Detailed, realistic designs featuring smooth shading and strong contrast.

• Any Size Project: I specialize in large scale work like, sleeves and backpieces, but bring the same care to small and medium tattoos.

• Creative Ideas: I welcome versatile, unique concepts that benefit from an artistic eye. This includes New School, Neo traditional and Japanese themed work as well.  All approached with structure and longevity in mind.
