Micah was born and raised in Washington. In 2007 at just 17 years old he started a tattoo apprenticeship under Jason Gennaro in Coleville, WA. Beginning his tattoo career at such a young age would spark a flame that fostered a deep connection and respect for tattooing. In 2020 Micah along with his partner, Michaela, became co-owner of Emerald City Tattoo after the original owner, Aaron Amundsen, passed the torch to them. Micah is honored to carry on Emerald City Tattoos legacy that began in 1991. Micah is a world class tattoo artist that is a leading specialist in multiple styles.
"What’s there not to love about tattooing? I get to make art all day, goof around with the best people and learn a lot about myself and others in the process. This profession always makes me feel thankful and humbled. I strive to continually stay in that headspace so I can best serve those around me."
"Bio-mechanical has got to be my absolute favorite style to tattoo in. Its a tattoo style that flows super well on the body and it always turns into a unique outcome as the designs tend to sync up with the clients personality. I’ll never stop enjoying other styles as well like illustrative, neo-traditional and realism. Subjects of nature, surrealism and pop culture references are definitely tattoos I also look forward to."
