Visual Art – Austin

I\'m a tattoo artist of 18 years now. I\'ve been doing art and music most of my life. I played percussion from 7th-12th grade. Started taking art classes in 11th grade and was advanced into art 2 when I started. Since then I learned the art of tattooing. Aside from tattooing I also paint in oils, acrylics, watercolors and draw with color pencil in a variety of styles. As a hobby I write and play electronic music ranging from Breakbeat to Drum and Bass. I have been married 15 years and have a 14 year old daughter. I have owned and operated Gridlock Tattoo for 2 years.
