What, or who, got you into tattooing?
I went to Wizards World as soon as I turned 18 and Justin Weatherholtz gave me my first tattoo. The experience was life changing, and I knew I wanted to become a Tattooist. I looked up to Justin and had tremendous respect for him and I wanted to learn from the man that taught him. That is when I discovered Joe Johns.
Etc.
After recieving my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Tyler School of Art-Temple University, I apprenticed under the Master and owner of Wizards World Joe Johns. He taught me the sacred art of tattooing, the business, countless life lessons and how to become a better man. And for that I am forever grateful. Thank you Joe I love & respect you more than you will ever realize.
Tattooing is my life and I put my heart & soul into every tattoo I do.
