Santa Barbara, CA | I got my start with Eric Maaske at Classic Tattoo in Fullerton, California. Eric was one of my best friends, and taught me what it means to be a good tattooer. I miss him very much, and I am eternally indebted to him. I started tattooing at Classic in June 2000 following a 2 year apprenticeship with Eric. I moved to Oakland to work for Freddy Corbin in August of 2001. It was probably the best move I've made. Working for Freddy with the crew at Tattoo13 has been a great time, and I've learned a lot.
