Please help us welcome the most recent artist to join our crew. Craig recently finished his apprenticeship at our studio, but he’s no stranger to art or tattoos.

Craig’s background is mainly in illustrative art- creating an impressive art career consisting of contract work including ads, album covers, along with countless projects like concert fliers over the years.

Little known fact! Craig also plays bass in a little known hardcore band called, Cold As Life.

Back to the tattoo stuff! Years ago, Craig pursued a tattoo apprenticeship, unfortunately, it wasn’t a good fit. The idea never fully left his mind, and when the timing felt right he always planned to make the transition. With the introduction of AI to nearly every field, unfortunately, a lot of his contracted art projects dried up along with it, making the career shift choice arrive a lot more unexpectedly than he hoped.

Craig’s been a friend to the shop since the beginning, and knowing his deep love and passion for art and tattoos, this felt like the natural next career move. When working with Craig, although he’s new to tattooing, you’ll find someone extremely well versed in general art knowledge, with a calm disposition, and willingness to put the time and effort in to create a tattoo to the best of his ability.

We’re proud to have Craig on our team and cannot wait to watch his progression as he continues his journey as a tattoo artist. Outside of tattooing, he loves music, touring with his band, and spending time with his wife Rose, and two awesome kids.
