Art has always been my passion, how I express myself and leave something lasting. I create bold, bright tattoos that make a bold impression
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My favorite art to create is anything bold, loud, and alive—thick lines, bright colors, no apologies. From neo-traditional to new school to Japanese or a wild fusion of all three, I chase that perfect mix of quirky and beautiful. I want my work to hit hard, turn heads, and still look solid decades later—timeless, fearless, and impossible to ignore
Where do you find inspiration?I’m deeply inspired by the great pioneers of this industry, while constantly drawing influence from the artists and creativity around me. I strive to leave a lasting mark—not just through my work, but through how it makes people feel. My goal is to be remembered for creating art with impact, authenticity, and a sense of wholesomeness that resonates beyond the surface
What would you do with $25,000?$25,000 would be life-changing for me, especially right now. I’d use it to secure a better home for my family, support my daughter’s educational needs, and prepare for the arrival of my new baby. It would also allow me to invest more into my career, helping me build a stronger, more stable future for all of us
