ABOUT THE ARTIST

Thad and I have known each other since junior high school.  He was always a very kind soul over the years and was known to do anything for any of his tight brothers and/or sisters.

Thad and I got reconnected in our mid twenties when I was working in the Surfboard industry and he was painting boards for …Lost Surfboard in the early years of …Lost when they were slaying it with the 5’5” 19 1/4” Fish movie…it seemed like every surfboard they made had a twisted, mauled up epic fish on it and Thad drew a ton of them.

During and long after that time, he became a civil engineer for a massive corporate company.  Today Thaddeus is a self described  recovering civil engineer who turned his passion for art and tattoo into his life’s work. Although the journey has had its ups and downs, Thad’s unwavering dedication to personal and professional growth has guided his success. Thad’s stubborn resolve and big heart led him to adopt the mantra Won’t Stop, Never Stop and the Crown-Heart-Skull insignia.

A tattoo artist for more than 20 years now, Thad provides his clients with an unparalleled experience. He works with each client to custom design artwork that reflects his client’s vision and Thad’s unique style. Thad is well versed in all styles of tattoo from American traditional, black & gray, and new school.

Thad can be found drawing, painting, designing clothes, or buying art and collectibles when not in the shop. Thad is proud to be a nerd; as a kid he played Dungeon and Dragons and can still translate Klingon. Thad is also an advocate of the use of plant based medicines for self-exploration, meditation, and personal well-being.
