moved to the Polynesian Islands in 1993 and was taught traditional Tahitian tattoo design by the locals. After gaining a firm grasp of the technique I began to explore my own style.

My mentors and teachers are some of the best and well know in Polonesia. Chime Roonui Tihoti and Purotu are the ones that kindeled my passion for tattooing. My family are my inspiration.

After Three years I then set out on my own and was hired at the Sofitel Ia Ora where I am currently still working. The studio is set on a white sand beach (of course) and is steps from a crystal clear lagoon. So while you are having work done the water lapping on the beach and the tropical air relaxes the client and makes the rather intense act of getting a tattoo more of a spiritual experience.
