"I started tattooing in El Paso , Texas in 1992 under the guidance of Orlando Rodriguez...I was taught the basics from needle making to machine building and everything in between. Stayed for about 6 years there .. than headed to Europe to continue my tattoo education. Mainly in the Netherlands and Germany. And finally moved to the west coast and worked at the world famous Avalon tattoo...the premiere tattoo studio in San Diego back in the 90s. Moved around a bit moved away too and finally came back and opened up full circle tattoo...we have a great amount of talent at my studio I enjoy very much working around all my friends...everyday is a joy to say the least .
