Rich always knew art would be the ship he would sail on but he had to find a way to get to the boat. As an accomplished athlete, Rich used sports to further his education and build his business. He attended Wagner College on an athletic scholarship and graduated with a B.A. in Fine Arts. He got to the boat. 
Sitting with clients for hours while he tattoos them has helped fuel Rich’s curiosity about the social impact his artwork has on people; noting that tattoo sessions in a sense have become therapeutic for many. ‘So many people experience similar problems and hardships, the only thing that differentiates them is how they express themselves.” Says Rich. No matter the medium, Rich’s creative approach is to generalize common issues and concerns that frequent his tattoo sessions. Drawing what seems fit from reality.

I’ve had a very unconventional way of starting my tattoo career and getting to where I’m at now. With no formal apprenticeship, I’ve taught myself how to tattoo by studying professionals on YouTube and surrounding myself around talented artists that I can continue to learn from. I’m never satisfied and always trying to find ways to level up in the industry.

My beginning days started with me tattooing in my dorm room, mostly tattooing my college basketball teammates that seen my artwork from my classes. My major was business until switching to art my sophomore year. Always loved art, but I also wanted to open some sort of business. When I came home from school after graduating college, I started to take tattooing more seriously. Although I was working in my parent’s basement, I was saving up for a private studio which I got in February 2016. From there I expanded to a large private studio and now I have a multilevel tattoo shop, Gremlins Tattoo Lounge, that houses about 10-12 artists.

I love how tattooing has taken me around the world to show case my talent. Puts me in the same room as some of the most talented artists in the world! I also love how much clients embrace me and give me artistic freedom on their tattoos. They tell me all the time how many compliments they receive on the daily. Brings me joy. 

I love to do tattoo conventions with a travel group I put together with my fellow tattoo artist Jordan. Always competing for the tattoo contests and networking. I’m truly grateful and can’t wait to see what the future has in store.
