I began my tattoo legacy in 1986 and opened my first shop in Hope, Arkansas in 1987. The Dermagraphic Studio you all know and love was founded in 1992 and still stands proud as Texarkana’s Oldest Tattoo Shop.

​

Some of my work has been published in such magazines as: Tattoo, Tattoo Revue, and Skin Art. You may also recognize me and my good client Joe Bob Jeffress, from a feature in VH1’s 2004 program, “Set in Skin.” On an educational note, I hold a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology from Southern Arkansas University.
