Before I ever picked up a tattoo machine, I spent ten years as a paramedic — living at the edge of life and death, with art always in my hands. Even in the back of an ambulance, I’d be sketching tattoo designs for my coworkers between calls. That was my first introduction to tattooing — long before I ever knew it would become my life’s path.

Eventually, my wife and I opened our first shop in California, Sub-Q Tattoo, where I spent over a decade mastering every style. I tattooed anyone who walked through the door — because that’s what you did back then — and it taught me range, humility, and consistency. But everything changed when our son was injured in an accident. Life rerouted us.

We sold the shop to focus on his healing. I moved to Los Angeles, where I started working on higher-profile clients — musicians, athletes, and actors — including Chris Brown, The Game,Gregory Vanderwiel, Brandy, and Carl Crawford. The visibility skyrocketed. I was flying to places like Paris and Texas, tattooing in backrooms, studios, and green rooms. But I quickly realized that kind of spotlight didn’t align with who I really am.

That shift brought us to Washington — a quieter place, where I could listen deeper and realign with my craft. Here, alongside my wife Eelisha and our two sons Kevin and Dayin, we opened Moon and Mercury Tattoo—It was here that I stepped fully into the work I now do:

Sacred geometry. Sigil-based design. Geomantic tattooing.

I don’t just decorate the body — I build with intention. These tattoos are blueprints, rituals, architectures of meaning. They reflect the client’s story, sometimes encoded, sometimes direct — always aligned.

It’s like geomancy in motion — drawing from astrology, natural pattern, and unseen structure.

I still tattoo in all styles. But the work I’m called to do now — the work that defines me — is about precision, energy, and sacred pattern.

If you know, you know.
