Ricky grew up in the mean streets of Meriden, where he would skateboard every day. If he wasn’t skating he was drawing. He always knew he wanted to pursue a career in art. He graduated high school and went on to Paier College of Art where he graduated with bachelors in Fine Arts. It was there that he started work on his sleeve and his passion for tattoos grew. Out of college Ricky got a job working as a special ed. Tutor, which he did for 6 years. It wasn’t until his fiancé lead him to Megan Jean that he realized he could actually become a tattoo artist. Ricky apprenticed under Megan and found he really loved doing black and grey and realism. He now enjoys doing portraits or anything else with a more realistic look. He is constantly looking to improve and grow as an artist. He has less time to skateboard now, though looking at his skating you would never know, but he is very happy with the direction his career is going and the team he’s working with.
