NQTP Artists

"My artistic journey began around the third grade, trying to copy early skateboard deck designs from my favorite skaters. Rainy days and evenings of my childhood were frequently spent sketching or copying images that interested or inspired him. Later, in my mid-teens an interest in cars grew, leading him to choose a career in auto body, eventually specializing in customization and restoration. While I did earn some success and recognition in that industry, slowly the internal need to create more artwork and do less sanding took over. In 2010 I hung up the sanding blocks and paint guns and started a new career in tattooing. Over 13 yrs later, that decision has proven to be a great one. I now enjoy tattooing all over the country, with hopes of someday tattooing all over the world. While I enjoy tattooing many different styles, my specialty and passion will always be portraiture, and dark realistic work in mainly black and grey tattooing. Images much like those I copied from skateboards all those years ago."

"I am a 38 year old tattoo artist from the middle of nowhere, Missouri. I've been in the game for 11 years. I've focused primarily on color in my time in the industry, but enjoy black and grey occasionally. I would say somewhere between New School and Neotrad is my sweet spot. If I can get some pop culture subject matter and tell a fun story along the way, even better!"
