Born in New Jersey, Dave grew up immersed in sci-fi, fantasy, and comic books, influences that shine through in every tattoo he creates. After attending The Kubert School of Art, he built a successful career as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer but found himself increasingly drawn to the dynamic, creative work of tattoo artists.
This passion led him to an apprenticeship under Grant Lubbock at Red Baron Ink, where he began his journey as a tattoo artist. Under Grant’s mentorship, Dave honed his skills and developed into a versatile artist with a distinctive style.
Now, Dave is eager to bring more comic book-inspired designs to life, aiming to solidify his place as one of the greats in the tattoo world.
