Born in Chicago, "E", (yes, the letter E) has been infatuated with any kind of artwork since he was a child. In his spare time, E was constantly doodling, drawing, sketching, painting, tagging… you name it. Anything to improve his skills.
In 2004, E started a formal apprenticeship at an award-winning shop, Wolf’s Fine Line, in Illinois. While apprenticing, he learned the correct techniques to sterilize his equipment, the proper use of equipment, and the art of tattooing. Since the start of his apprenticeship, he has been tattooing daily which fuels his desire to push his ambitions and artistic abilities past the limits.
In July of 2009, E had the opportunity to assist in the opening of a clean, sterile shop. This venture was a success which gave E the opportunity to continue to grow his skillsets and talents while allowing him to build a larger following. Though E never limits his creativity and looks forward to all types of work and challenges, his favorite and most notable works are new school cartoons and flowers.
In 2022, E decided to step it up to the next level and opens Electric Hive Tattoo & Inkporium which fulfills his lifelong dream of having his very own studio. E and his wife have worked tirelessly at making this a reality. They are excited to see what the future holds.
There’s never a dull moment when around this guy.
