Thanks to Hollywood Mark and his crew for joining our event! The Tattoo on Day-Mar looked awesome
Biography:
I was Born 1968 in East Los Angeles, California. After graduating
from South Gate high school I attended Los Angeles Trade Tech. College
where I studied commercial art, sign painting and off set printing. I
started to tattoo, in 1990, at Spotlight Tattoo in Hollywood where I
apprenticed under Bob & Charlie Roberts for two years. It was there
where I first met Henk Schiffmacher( a.k.a. Hanky Panky). Henk saw
potential and asked me to work for him in Amsterdam. Of course one
thing led to another and it's been 12 years, a beautiful Dutch wife,
and 3 children later.
I specialize in lettering due to my previous occupation as a
professional sign painter and graphic illustrator. But the education I
received from Bob & Charlie Roberts along with working for 7 years
with Henk Schiffmacher I have developed the ability to tattoo a wide
range of tattooing styles and customize a client's specific idea very
well.
I have been exposed to and worked side by side with some of the
best in the business.including Dave Shore, Paulo Suluape(R.I.P), Filip
Lue, Jack Rudy, Goodtime Charlie, Freddy Corbin, Ron Ackers, Luke
Akinson TinTin, Bernie Luther and many others.This combination of old
school education and 11 years experience gives me the ability to tattoo
anything from a Japanese style sleeve to a Micky Mouse on the ass.I
feel a good tattoo artist should be able to do whatever the job might
ask. Although I prefer tattooing traditional subjects
like,skulls,roses,tigers,pin- ups,ect.,I welcome all styles and ideas.
Of course working in Hollywood I have tattooed my fair share of
celebrities including: David Arquette (actor), Steven Dorff
(actor),Kate Hudson (actress), Angela Schrijf (actress), B-Real and Mr.
Scandales (Cypress Hill), Fred Durst and DJ Lethal ( Limp Bizkit ),
Chris Robinson (Black Crows), Stuart Hamm ( bass player for Steve Vai /
Joe Satriani ), Evan (Biohazard), Robbie Williams, Patrick Kluivert
(Ajax & AC milan), Clarence Seedorf (Ajax) , and even Henk Schiffmacher
himself.
Although I live and work in Amsterdam, my quest to learn
everything about tattooing has kept me traveling to the four corners of
the world. To add to my tattooing achievements, my graphic background
has also kept me busy with other projects such as t-shirt designs, logo
designs, posters,paintings, stickers, and working with artists like
Olivia Beren (a great American painter) on a joint project for the
poster expo in San Francisco 1992, Assisting Henk Schiffmacher in
painting a mural for Golden Earring's sound studio. In 1994 I was
proudly granted a residence permit and permission to open my own
company, Hollywood Hardwear. I was also asked to serve as a copywriter
for 2- Unlimited's first cd-i (cd interactive) which won an award for
most realistc cd-i..In the August 25-September 1,1999 issue 35 of the
Nieuwe Revue I was nominated as one of the 10 best tattoo artists in
Holland.My most recent commercial job was designing images for GUCCI in
Milan ,summer collection 2002. I feel I have come a long way since my
first award as most promising artist given to me in 1993 at the
Amsterdam Tattoo Convention but I also feel I have much further to go.
Although I usually like to work for and with other people I felt
it was time to make a name for myself. I showed this by making my debut
(under my own name) at the 1st International Tattoo Convention in Tokyo
october 1999 were only a select few were allowed to attend.
I now I work in the centre of amsterdam on the Elandsgracht 65 in my own shop.I opened fall '07 check the ''opening night'' section on this site.The shop is located right in the center of amsterdam.If you would like to make an appointment or have any questions
just call or write and I will get right back to you.
