“As a lover of art, it was only natural that I gravitated towards tattooing because of its innate beauty and esoteric spiritual traditions. I’ve studied art since childhood and worked in the field of graphic design for 12 years before becoming a tattoo artist. I’ve challenged myself in a variety of different mediums but none more interesting or exciting than the art of tattooing. For me a tattoo is both fun and the ultimate expression of one’s aesthetic ideals and inner vision. Weather it be a simple kanji or an ornate half sleeve it all has value to me and speaks to the higher power in which we all share.” —Steve Hovey
