“As an eloquent storyteller through ink, he works with clients from all over the world, they travel to his studio for his refined designs and complex tattoos.”

With more than 30 years of experience, Steve is one of the most leading and innovative tattoo artists of this time. He was at the basis of the development of the Modern Contemporary Polynesian Tattoos as we know them today.

“His unique ability to seamlessly combine different styles, creating beautiful hybrid designs”

Although Steve’s Polynesian tattoos are the most well-known, Steve is versatile and often takes on challenges in different styles. What sets Steve apart from other Tattoo Artists is his unique ability to seamlessly combine different styles, creating beautiful hybrid designs. His mastery of Black & Grey and the Japanese Style allows him to create elegant and detailed designs.

Steve and I have known each other for several years and I have regularly spent time with him and his family, as well as in his tattoo shop. We also meet at conventions such as the London and Paris tattoo conventions. We worked together on various art projects. His hospitality and willingness to help others grow makes him not only a highly valued friend to me, but also a respected tattoo artist.
