Ian has been tattooing since 1994, and his career has taken him a long way from where it started in Canada.

After establishing himself there, he moved to Europe and spent years working throughout Spain, the UK, Holland, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Switzerland and beyond.

Along the way he learned from different tattoo cultures, artists and traditions — experience that now spans more than three decades.

Australia first entered the picture in 1998. After years of returning to work here, Ian eventually decided to make it home.

Ian enjoys tattooing across a broad range of styles, but traditional foundations remain closest to his heart, particularly Japanese, neo-traditional, ornamental and floral work.

After 30+ years, he’s still learning — which probably tells you everything you need to know about the way he approaches tattooing.
