I love tattooing. In 2010 I started in street shops where I had to handle any request that came in the door. It was a great education and equipped me with a versatile set of tools that I still use every day.

You should love your tattoo. Whether it’s your 1st tattoo or your 50th, I want to give you a great experience with a beautiful tattoo. I value communication and will never “force you” to get a design you don’t want.

Currently my focus is on Japanese, traditional, and Black & Gray tattoos. “Black & Gray” encompasses a variety of styles from portraits and delicate ornamental, to fine-line and tribal. I enjoy doing large AND small tattoos. Some tattooers just do one type of thing, and that’s great. I like to have variety in my work. If you’d like a tattoo in a style you don’t see represented in my photos, please ask. If it’s not in my wheelhouse, I’ll do my best to refer you to another talented tattooer.

I aim to make the consultation process easy for everyone. In-person visits are quick and efficient. We can chat over ideas, make tracings of the spot you want tattooed, and I can answer any questions you may have.

Consultations are free! There is no charge to chat. If you decide to book an appointment, there will be a deposit required. (Please check out the DEPOSIT section for info.)

Since everyone has busy schedules I take consultations whenever I am at the tattoo shop. If you would like to meet up to talk about an idea, please call the shop and let them know you would like to stop by. If I know you are coming I will stick around so that you don’t waste a trip.

A non-refundable deposit is required for all appointments. Deposits range from $100 to $200 depending on the size of the tattoo and the drawing required. Deposits can be paid in cash if you’re at the shop, or Venmo if you live further away.

The deposit is applied to the cost of the tattoo. In the case of multiple session tattoos, the deposit is applied to the final session. If you need to use a deposit before a tattoo is completed, another deposit is required before we book additional appointments.

I have a $200 minimum for appointments. The price of single session tattoos varies depending on size, complexity, location, etc. I’ll usually give a price range based on the info in a clients request. Once a design has been approved and the final size is determined, I can give more accurate pricing. My current rate is $200 hour for multiple session tattoos. These are usually scheduled in 3-5 hour increments.

Cash is always the preferred method of payment. Redemption accepts credit card payments, multiple ATMs are located nearby. Sundance is cash only, with an ATM on the premises.

Digital payments are accepted for deposits and gratuity. If you are unable to pay with cash of card please let me know in advance of your appointment.

Appointments may be scheduled though email or in person at the tattoo shop. If you are unable to visit, please call and speak with myself or the shop assistant. This is especially efficient when scheduling multiple appointments.

A deposit is required when making an appointment.

A minimum of 48 hours notice is required when cancelling or rescheduling an appointment. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please email me AND call the shop where your tattoo is scheduled.

Appointments cancelled with less than 48 hours notice may result in forfeiture of deposit, and may require a new deposit to schedule future appointments.

I graduated from Montserrat College of Art in 2001 with a BFA in Illustration. My career has spanned various creative fields, including illustration, graphic design, murals, sign painting, and guitar building. These experiences have shaped my approach to tattooing, with a strong emphasis on creativity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. I started tattooing in 2010.

I currently live in Massachusetts with my wife and twin daughters. I tattoo at Redemption tattoo in Cambridge, MA and Sundance Tattoo Parlor in Nashua, NH. Outside of tattooing or drawing, I enjoy playing and recording music, and exploring the outdoors.
