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 also owned my own studio ‘Tatudharma’ in Sydney for 10 years before moving to Lennox Head in 2011.

WHAT IS YOUR PREFERRED STYLE OF WORK? Large asian inspired work, illustrative botanical work, anything i can re-design and make more interesting (cover ups a specialty).

WHAT DO YOU LEAST LIKE TATTOOING? Not a fan of tattoos chosen because of their Pinterest popularity, I prefer original ideas, even if they need more work to make a good tattoo.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT WORKING AT ROCK OF AGES? Fantastic crew and amazing local community, 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, running the Australian Tattooists Guild.
