I started my tattoo career as a street portrait painter in Merdeka street Bandung,Indonesia in 1997.I first got tattooed by Duff after that I really wanted to learn. I was lucky enough to have a very famous artist here Kent Tattoo apprentice me and after that I was on my way to a constantly learning journey.People ask me if tattooing is easy?I always tell them it depends on your effort and desire.  The most limiting factor is patience.If an artist has patience to put in effort and always be teachable and be willing to learn and stay humble you will always get the best maximal output.From 1997 to 2004 I became used to doing tribal,biomechanical,old school,new school,oriental and I still enjoy those styles,however my passion is realism.Portraits,animals,things,scenes etc.If you have a decent photo of what you want I can usually tattoo it.
