Being classically trained in fine arts, my favourite era is the renaissance. Renaissance means re-birth in French, which is a suitable name for my studio as learning to tattoo was a re-birth for me and my artistic skills and it changed my life in many ways. I also feel that as I am classically trained and fluent in so many different styles, as well as having students and apprentices working under me, that the term renaissance man coins my artistic capabilities and career.
