Born in Boston and growing up in Lynn, MIKE found his love of art not through an educational background, but through artwork in the streets of Lynn. Graffiti and street art became the inspiration for Mike to begin his path as an artist.

He began tattooing professionally sixteen years ago and works predominantly in the black and grey realism medium of tattoo style. He has achieved several awards, participated in numerous tattoo conventions across the U.S. and plans to continue competing side by side with artists alike.

His tenacity to grow within the tattoo industry is remarkable And his latest venture has been opening his own tattoo shop, Studio 13, which opened in 2017. It began as a one man show and has quickly expanded to an amazing team of artists and apprentices. Mike's vision in the tattoo world is only beginning and he hopes to be an inspiration to his staff, clients and artists alike.

His next venture is an expansion of Studio13 opening in Derry, NH in Spring 2025.
