I have been a professional Tattoo Artist since 2008. I was born in the Philippines in 1985, and my family and I immigrated to the United States in 1991. My earliest influences were animated films, particularly Studio Ghibli and Disney films like Nausicaa Valley of the Wind and Aladdin. Art runs in my family as my father, Orlando, is also a lifelong artist who nurtured my love for art from a young age. Watching him paint watercolor portraits of our family remains a significant influence on my work. Throughout my life, art has always held a central place, and I developed a deep appreciation for American comic books and Japanese manga.
During my time in high school and college, I pursued art by taking various courses and participating in numerous art events. I strongly believe in continuous self-improvement and constantly seek ways to refine my skills. I find joy in working with different artistic mediums and have explored various styles. Currently, as a Tattoo Artist, I specialize in Japanese/Asian style tattooing, Anime/manga tattoos, as well as themes inspired by gaming and Nerd culture.
