I was born and raised in Eastern Oahu, Kaneohe to be exact. The first tattoo that I did was done sometime in 1999. Between then and now I have continued to learn and improve to become the artist that I am today.

Progression is the key, and with each tattoo I strive to improve. I feel that you can never stop learning, and each and everyday I learn something new that helps me to keep my progression alive. I now work along side those that inspire me to improve.

808 Tattoo was opened in December of 2005 in Kaneohe, at the Windward City Shopping Center.
