I started my apprenticeship at 13 years old, working for and learning from my Dad. )Cherokee Chuck) By the time I was 15, I was licensed in the state of Wisconsin and working on paying customers. From there I just kept honing my skills and learning as much as I could, from my Dad as well as his colleagues. In November of 2025 I decided to spread my wings and venture off on my own, owning and operating my own studio here in Rapid CIty.
I like to say that people come in for the tattoo but keep coming back for the experience they have with me in the studio. Most of my clientele base are returning customers, coming back for more!
