Dean started tattooing in June of 1999. Before cell phones and limitless amounts of internet reference were at our fingertips, he had to learn to draw anything and everything. He has had work published in Skin and Ink and International Tattoo magazines. Being that he started out in a high-volume shop, beside Goodfellow Air Force Base, it was imperative he understood all styles of tattoos. Dean gravitates more toward Western Traditional, though he’s not just a one trick pony.
