Andrew was born on Marine Corps Base 29 Palms in California. Growning up, he enjoyed sketching and later, during his teenage years, picked up photography. This eventually lead him to the Marine Corps and, while stationed in Jacksonville, North Carolina, resulted in his first personal experience in tattooing. After showing off a few sketches, he was taken under wing and allowed to hang out at a shop and learn the trade. Upon leaving the Marine Corps, and after spending a little time in Washington State, he returned to start his career as a tattoo artist and piercer. That was nearly a decade ago.
