Aaron is from Santa Clarita, California and moved to Seattle in 2018. Tattooing since 2017, he was inspired to dive into this career after seeing how interwoven tattooing was in the skateboard and music scene that he was apart of. Moving to Seattle ignited a fresh perspective for his art as he realized how much inspiration he received from the natural beauty of Washington. Aaron is an outstanding, dedicated and valued artist here at Emerald City Tattoo.
"Tattooing has almost been a natural unfolding for me as it was always in the peripheral of the skateboard and music community I was a part of growing up. I credit that chapter of my youth to introducing me to an art that has very much impacted all aspects of my life in the best way. It’s honor and a thrill to tattoo the coolest people that maybe I wouldn’t have met otherwise. That’s probably the best part of my job."
"I’ve always been drawn to American Traditional tattooing, especially black and grey. It just packs a punch with its bold style and reliable longevity. It’s been around for centuries and it feels special to carry on its legacy."
