So you started tattooing 6 years ago , how did that come bout ? I have a cousin who was a tattoo artist and I thought “ He can ’ t even draw that well .” Not to disrespect him but , I started hangin ’ around the tattoo shop he was at all the time and when I got married my ex wife was always pushing me to do what I like . I wanted to try it but I was afraid because it ’ s different than drawing on paper . Finally I bought some machines and tried it on some fake skins and my brother was a big influence so I tried a lot of stuff on him and I just got good .
First shop ? Ink House on Tremont Ave in the Bronx a little and then Morris Park Ink . Now I ’ m at Studio 28 in Manhattan .
How is that working out ? Amazing . I ’ m working with Raphael Marte , Jason Ackerman , Saylor , Tom Tapit , World Famous Group and a lot of good artists guest
