Art is who I am.

I followed my heart down the path many
are not willing to take. I wasn’t looking for
treasure , I just had a hunger to express
myself and nobody was going to tell me
otherwise. I hustled my way through art
school while at the same time worked in
the tattoo industry in Christchurch city.
Rap gave me an outlet to feel and an
attempt to express my experience.
Tattooing bought me closer to people and
the characters I shared space with that
gave me perspective.
What I share is an extension of
conversation with an authentic point of
view . My style is diverse because it had to
be, in order to survive an adverse
environment. I am an old soul living in a
world forever changing,

This is my art.
