Tattooing is truly Tyler's life. He has always had a love for fine art and tattoos. Growing up in the punk rock/hardcore music scene, tattoos have always been a way of life, and could always be seen with a pencil and paper in his hand, drawing flyers for local punk shows. Tyler spent a good many years as a blue collar worker, doing custom metal fabrication and machinist work, until he decided to make his tattoo dreams a reality. He has always had a love affair with the ocean, and was always heavily influenced by the classic Americana of tattooing. Tyler's style is American Traditional, bold lines, bright colors, the classics, and has a passion for it. In his free time, Tyler can easily be found traveling, building classic cars and motorcycles, drawing, building skateboards, and attending tattoo conventions across the country. He loves live music, but with city in his blood, never travels too far away from the street lights
