Avast Ye, maties!

Stand to and lend an ear!

I started tattooing at the age of 24 and have had

the opportunity to work in many different shops.
 

My first break was a shop in Darby, PA,

"Empire", where I worked for about 1 year.
 

While working there, I was given the chance

to work in a shop with a lot more traffic

in South Philadelphia - "Forbiddin Art."
I was able acquire quite a bit of experience

at this shop, not only in the tattooing

field, but the management field as well.
 

After a year, I was given the position of manager,

which helped prepare me to run my own shop.
 

From there I moved onto "The Black Swan",

in Northeast Philadelphia and then through a mutual

friend, I met a guy by the name of Terry Manning.
He offered me a position in his shop, "Wild Card Studios",

where I learned the talent of cover-ups.
 

Thank you, Terry!!!

I then moved down to Wildwood, NJ and worked for

several summers at "Island Joe's Tattoo", and then "Oxygen".
 

This shop did so well, we were able to

take over the 24th Street Tattoo shop.

After 3 fascinating summers in Wildwood, it was time

for me to hang my own sign…Chico's Crows Nest Tattoo.
 

I would like to thank all of my customers throughout the

years, for giving me the chance to "color them in".
 

And, a very special thank you to my parents, for

their help and support in making this dream come true.
