Jeff began his tattoo journey with determination and a clear sense of purpose. After graduating high school early at 17, he briefly attended college before realizing his path lay elsewhere.
Drawn to the tattoo industry from a young age, he began building connections, getting tattooed, and actively seeking an apprenticeship by the time he was 18. Despite initial setbacks due to his age, Jeff earned his professional license at 19 and began working full-time in a traditional street shop.
The experience was formative, giving him a strong foundation in the technical and interpersonal demands of tattooing, while also shaping his vision for what a studio could be.
In 2009, at just 20 years old, Jeff opened his own tattoo studio in Dover, New Hampshire, with the goal of creating a welcoming, artist-driven space rooted in professionalism, skill, and mutual respect. Over the years, he has continued to hone his craft through disciplined self-education and thousands of hours of hands-on work.
Now with over 15 years of experience, Jeff remains committed to delivering high-quality, custom tattooing in a studio known for consistency, integrity, and longevity. His studio is proud to be the longest-running tattoo shop in Dover—a testament to his dedication and deep love for the art.
