I tattoo for my clients, for my love of art and freedom of expression, I tattoo because I enjoy changing peoples lives, because I create memories, I tattoo because it makes me feel apart of something bigger than me, a sense of importance and welcomed by my community.
Why the name Bad Boy Ink ? because everyone want’s to be a bad boy or a bad girl it used to be just sailors, criminals and bikers that was the stigma now you have elected officials, doctors, lawyers and law enforcement, teachers…etc all ethnicity and all pronouns, tattooing is now mainstream.
ARTIST BIO
Not without short comings, far from any fairytale life story only real struggle’s only real strife, from as young as I can remember I faced a hurdle of adversities through my childhood and my adolescence, I’ve stood witness as my perception of the world changed, one thing that took me away from reality is the many nights I would stay awake drawing planting the seed of art and from it a love for expression grew but like any relationship it was an on and off again affair the concept was there but the foundation wasn’t laid properly. Many years would go by before I would start to build on those skills, aspirations and technique, truth be told I didn’t have any inspiration or real solid role models. How does one truly know what they want out of life when they barely know oneself. It took a lot of searching and as if my soul was blind, I found purpose. I look at life with a new perspective, I have traveled far, I have grown as a person and as an artist I now know my potential, I now know my worth, I say all this because who am I ? as an artist to say to my clients you will get the best art from me if I don’t even know who I am ?
So yes the latter part of my years I picked up the pace and really shaped my future and my craft, I moved from Louisiana to London, Ontario I attended Fanshawe College and graduated with honours, I also took an online course for graphic design and graduated on the deans list, I have attended many tattoo conventions and I have interacted with various well known tattoo artist’s that have only added fuel to my passion for my love of art. I have fully embraced my calling and am truly happy when tattooing, when you do something you love it opens so many doors that were once closed and allows you to walk through them confidently. I am a tattoo artist, not only do I believe this, I know this to be true, because all I breathe is love for my family and my art.
