Today I work out of Big Kahuna Tattoo at 73 S. Federal Hwy in Boca Raton, Florida. The city's original tattoo shop, established in 1999. I specialize in what I call modern classics. Traditional American, Japanese, Fine Line, and Black & Grey tattoos that are built on the fundamentals of real tattooing but drawn and executed with a contemporary eye. Many pieces of flash on our walls I drew and painted by hand, alongside work from the artists who inspire me.

My approach is simple. I listen to what you want, I tell you the truth about how to make it last, and I have your back from the first conversation to the finished tattoo. Whether you're a first timer or a serious collector, you'll leave with something you're proud of.

Walk ins are always welcome at Big Kahuna Tattoo, 73 S. Federal Hwy, Boca Raton, FL 33432.
