TY is a natural artist whose passion began as soon as he could hold a pencil. He enjoys sketching people, animals and his favorite cartoon characters from books, magazines, on tv.

TY grew into a versatile creator, honing his skills through middle and high school art programs. Later studied Visual Communication and Graphic Design at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.

His tattoo journey began with an apprenticeship in Raleigh, NC. 2019, then Masters Tattoo Institute in Miami, FL where he focused on portraits and photorealism.

Now known for his sharp detail and creative vision, TY specializes in black & grey/color realism, portraits, cartoons, and enjoys script. TY has built his craft through years of tattooing, traveling, attending conventions, and collaborating with other talented artists across the DMV area.

Balanced - fun, energetic, yet chill. Outside of  tattooing, TY is a father, motivator, and a dreamer with a vision. His mission is simple: to inspire, create, and leave a legacy through art.
