I’ll be tattooing at Tommy’s Tattoo Convention, October 9–11, 2026, at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut.

I’ll be bringing both sides of my work to the convention, from my main focus on biomechanical and mechanical tattoos to black & grey realism.

I’m currently taking bookings for the show, with limited availability. I’m particularly interested in strong one-day projects that we can complete and potentially enter into the convention competitions.

I’m excited to be attending the 10th Annual Westchester New York Tattoo Convention, October 2nd to 4th at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, New York.

I’ll be tattooing throughout the weekend and I still have very limited availability for the show. I’m especially interested in taking on a strong biomechanical, mechanical or realism piece that we can create and showcase at the convention.

The weekend will bring together hundreds of tattoo artists from around the world, along with piercing, vendors, sideshow acts, live music, the Miss Inked Pageant, daily tattoo contests and more.

Kids 12 and under, Veterans, Police, Fire and EMS receive free admission.

If you've been thinking about getting tattooed by me while I’m in New York, this is a great opportunity. DM me directly or use the booking form through the link in my bio.

I’ll also be tattooing around the New York area between September 30th and October 14th, with guest spot locations being announced separately.

I'm excited to announce my upcoming guest spot at Vatican Studios in Lake Forest, California, taking place from July 14th to July 21st, 2026.

Following the Long Beach Tattoo Festival, I'll be spending a week working at one of Southern California's well-known tattoo studios, focusing on custom biomechanical tattoos, realism tattoos, full sleeves, back pieces, and large-scale projects.

Whether you're looking to begin a new tattoo, continue an existing project, or travel to California specifically for a multi-day session, this guest spot offers a great opportunity to get tattooed while I'm on the West Coast.



My work combines over 25 years of experience with custom 3D design techniques, creating unique tattoos inspired by machinery, engineering, H.R. Giger, and realistic textures. Many projects are completed over multiple sessions, allowing clients from around the world to achieve large-scale work within a single trip.

Appointments are limited and booking requests are recommended in advance.

If you would like to book a consultation or reserve a session during my California guest spot, please submit a request through the website contact form.

I'm excited to announce that I'll be attending the Long Beach Tattoo Convention from July 10-12, 2026, at the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center in California.

This will be one of the highlights of my West Coast tour, bringing my custom biomechanical realism work to one of the most established tattoo events in the United States. Whether you're looking to start a sleeve, leg project, chest piece, back piece, or continue an existing tattoo, this is a great opportunity to get tattooed during the convention.

My work combines realism, engineering-inspired design, and custom 3D concept development to create tattoos that are built specifically for each client's anatomy and vision.

Appointments are limited and priority will be given to larger-scale projects.

Long Beach, California

I'm excited to be returning to California and will be spending a few days working at The Ravens and The Wolves Tattoo & Fine Art Gallery in Long Beach before the Villain Arts Tattoo Festival.

During this guest spot, I'll be focusing on custom biomechanical and realism projects, as well as continuing ongoing work for returning clients. Whether you're looking to start a new piece or add to an existing project, this is a great opportunity to get tattooed while I'm on the West Coast.

Availability at Ravens and Wolves is now very limited, with only one day remaining.

Following the Long Beach convention, I'll continue my California tour with guest sessions at Vatican Studios in Lake Forest, where additional appointments will be available.

If you'd like to book an appointment, please submit a request through the website or get in touch for more information.

I look forward to seeing old friends, meeting new clients and creating some exciting projects during this California trip.

After the Sinners Tattoo Expo, I'll be staying in Texas for an exclusive guest spot at Sinner Tattoo Studio from 16–19 June 2026.

Dallas has become one of my favourite destinations in the United States, and I'm looking forward to returning for another round of custom biomechanical realism projects.

Whether you're looking for a full sleeve, leg sleeve, torso piece, or a larger ongoing project, this guest spot offers the opportunity to work together in a relaxed studio environment outside the convention setting.

Availability is limited and bookings are now open.

Dallas, Texas

Sinner Tattoo Studio

I will be attending the Sinners Tattoo Expo 2026 in Dallas, Texas. This event will be a return trip for me after working in Dallas earlier this year. The convention brings together a strong lineup of artists and collectors and is a great setting for clients who want to begin or continue large scale biomechanical realism projects. As always, I will be working with custom 3D built designs created specifically to match the movement and structure of the body. These events are ideal for collectors who prefer to work in an energetic environment while still receiving the full focus and detail required for advanced biomechanical work. Spaces are limited and early booking is recommended to secure your place at this convention.

Dallas, Texas

I'm excited to announce my first stop in Dallas during my June 2026 Texas tour. From 9–11 June, I'll be guesting at Eden Body Art Studios, bringing my custom biomechanical realism projects and large-scale concept work to Dallas.

This is a great opportunity to begin a sleeve, leg project, chest piece, back piece, or continue an existing biomechanical tattoo. Every project is custom-designed to fit the client's anatomy and flow, using my 3D design workflow to create unique and personal concepts.

Appointments are limited and priority will be given to larger-scale projects.

Dallas, Texas

Eden Body Art Studios

Following the convention, I will continue working in New York with a guest spot at 1983 Art Studio from May 26th to 29th.

This part of the trip is designed for clients who want a more controlled environment for larger biomechanical or realism tattoo projects, including sleeves and multi-day work. Studio sessions allow more time for structure, layering, and refinement compared to convention work. My approach focuses on building each tattoo as a complete composition. Designs are often developed with a strong structural foundation, incorporating mechanical elements that follow anatomy and create depth through contrast and flow.

This is the best opportunity during the New York trip to:

Start a larger project

Continue ongoing work

Develop a full custom concept over multiple sessions

Spaces are limited and booked in advance.

Brooklyn, New York

I will be tattooing at the Empire State Tattoo Expo in Manhattan, one of the key tattoo conventions in New York bringing together international artists and collectors.This event is ideal for clients looking to begin or continue biomechanical and realism tattoo work in New York, particularly in a more dynamic convention setting. I will be focusing on custom-designed pieces, from single-day concepts to the early stages of larger multi-session projects.

Convention sessions are best suited for:

Starting biomechanical concepts

Adding to existing tattoos

Collectors who want to experience tattooing within a live event environment

Due to time constraints during the convention, availability is very limited.

Manhattan, New York

I will be working a limited guest spot at Hustlers Brooklyn Tattoo Studio from May 19th to 21st, taking on a small number of custom biomechanical and realism tattoo projects in New York.

This session is focused on structured, large-scale work, including sleeves, ongoing pieces, and one-day concepts built with long-term development in mind. Each design is created specifically for the individual, following the natural flow of the body and often planned through a detailed concept process before the tattooing begins.

Brooklyn provides a strong setting for this type of work, combining a focused studio environment with access for collectors across New York City.

Availability is limited to maintain quality and attention to detail.
