Biographical Notes

About Me

  • 10+ years of tattooing · 20+ years of drawing

  • Occasionally funny · Calm, slightly obsessive perfectionist

  • Style-flexible

  • Amateur padel player · Cat & dog enthusiast

I grew up moving around a lot — unfortunate at the time, great for character development. It did, however, give me an early excuse to see more of the world than most.

I studied Stage Design at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts, and then in 2016 made the very logical decision to accidentally become a tattoo artist.

Ten years later, after working across Asia, Australia, and Africa, I've now settled in Hamburg.

My style isn't fixed — I'd rather adapt than repeat. The goal is simple: create something that feels right for you, and something I'm proud to stand behind.

Somewhere between your idea and my standards, there's usually a very good tattoo.
