I have been drawing as far back as I can remember. Whatever I could get my hands on; I would try to paint, sculpt and draw with it. With incredibly supportive parents who instilled a strong work ethic inside me; I grew as an artist which carried me to college.

I am a graduate of The Joe Kubert School of Art where I honed my skills as an illustrator and designer. Being introduced to all sorts of mediums and surrounded by many other talented artists, I developed quickly as a professional. After graduating I became a freelance illustrator and graphic designer.

Realizing graphic design was not the path I should take; I decided to venture off into tattooing. So here I am, tattooing since 2008 after seven years of hard work and frustration I am living my dream as a full time artist; and I love every second of it.

I bring an illustrative approach to my work, but there is not a particular style I enjoy doing more than others. Someday I hope to find my niche, but until then, I enjoy producing any style. I never want to limit myself; I am always open to critiques, ideas and providing my clients with the best tattoos conceivable.

Growing up, drawing has always come naturally to me and art has always inspired me. Throughout high school, and some university courses, I have always put my 100% into each project i have worked on, and have always liked experimenting with new mediums.

I come from a large family that has supported me through the many good times and the fewer hard times that we all go through. I have a colorful past, but from the very first time i put a tattoo machine to skin, there's been nothing more important to me than tattooing, and family.

I got my start tattooing in Alaska in 2004. I have travelled extensively and built hiking and biking trails for Americorps all across our country, and i have printed t-shirts with my twin brother for twelve plus years, including work for Abercrombie and Fitch, American Outpost, and Fossil. But, nothing has been more rewarding than tattooing. I enjoy working with my clients to invent their perfect, individual piece of art and I take pride in knowing that I've done my best work possible in each session of tattooing.

I am developed in all areas of the tattoo process and aim to deliver sharp, consistent lines; smooth, thorough shading; and solid, fully saturated color. From tight intricate lining to broad, soft grey wash and portraits, your tattoo will be approached with my determination to achieve the highest quality end result. And, there should be no concern about cleanliness as you are shown unopened, clean and sterile equipment before any work begins.

I am always trying to learn more, and always motivated to keep things fresh and creative. You can view more of my work on Facebook or contact me via email at: lynxdmp@yahoo.com.
