BONEY

       You could say my journey to tattooing started in 2014, when I saw a the cover of Tattoo magazine and was struck by what I saw. I didn't know that kind of realism could be achieved on skin. Right then and there, I knew I wanted to be a tattoo artist.

       Fast forward a year later, and I was an apprentice at Defining Skin in Columbus. Ever since, I’ve been hyper-focused on creating realistic tattoos, developing my skills and honing my techniques into the style I've created for myself today.

      I started out as an artist working in various mediums, including graphite, oil paint, and digital. But I was born to be the artist I am today. I started working with my hands when a kid, installing my first water heater with my dad at the age of 8. Beyond my years in construction, I've been a meter reader, I've worked in restaurants, I've bar-backed at a casino...I even sold vacuum cleaners. Doing sales taught me a lot about people.

       10 years into the tattoo game, it was time to put all my know-how and experience to work to create a shop like no other. That's when Studio Three was born, igniting a passion inside me to help others succeed along with me.
