ABOUT ME

24 year-old male from Australia. I'm large, hirsute and very softly spoken, so don't be afraid to ask me to repeat myself- I'm used to it!

After finishing an architecture degree straight out of high school, I forsook a deskbound career in construction to become a tattooist, which I've been doing for the last few years. It's the best job I've ever had- I get paid to draw on people, listen to music and hang out with my friends.
A close second is the two years I spent working as a bartender in a high-end cocktail bar, where I was flown across the country a couple of times for what we liked to call, "market research".

After studying Japanese for 5 years, I speak at a conversational level and will always welcome anyone who wants to practice with me.

I'm very softly spoken, and I'd usually enjoy conversation and cocktails at a chill bar, rather than thrashing around to DnB at a nightclub… although it does happen.

I've done a few backpacking trips in the last few years, mostly in Asia and the Americas. I lived in London for about 6 months and did a solo motorcycle tour across the US last year. I'm just chilling in Bunbury for the time being until I'm ready to take off again.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel that if you aren't spending your time enjoying something or learning something new, then you're wasting it. I always try to do either, or preferably both, of these things-whether I'm travelling or at home. Have fun, learn shit.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Many things, yet most recently, my travels across the US on a motorcycle have taken me through some amazing landscapes. From riding through desolate deserts to soaring, snow-capped mountains, this trip has been totally humbling.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

As a tattooist and painter, I love meeting like-minded people who enjoy creating things, whether it be large or small, simple or complex, and sharing skills and knowledge.
