My story, my path

I’m William.

First and foremost, I’m a father to two adventurous boys.

My family is at the centre of my life. They are some of my greatest teachers, constantly inviting me to slow down, let go of control and meet life with more presence than I thought possible.

For many years, I’ve been exploring a different way of living.

A life closer to nature.
Closer to myself.
Closer to what really matters.

That path has taken me through ceremonial handpoke tattooing, plant medicine, fatherhood, addiction, deep love, uncertainty, heartbreak, spirituality and profound beauty.

I’ve travelled far, both in the world and within myself.

And through all of it, I’ve become deeply fascinated by consciousness. By the parts of ourselves we can understand and the mystery we cannot. By masculine and feminine energy, and the dance between direction and surrender, strength and softness, doing and being.

And increasingly, by God.

Not as something I can fully explain or put into a belief system. More as something I have come to feel and know through life itself.

Something greater than me.
Something I can surrender to.
Something that keeps inviting me back to love.

After years of searching, learning, ceremony and transformation, I find myself less interested in finding the next answer.

I’m more interested in how we actually live what we have learned.

How we stay present.
How we stop repeating ourselves.
How we stand firmly without closing our hearts.
How we surrender without losing ourselves.
How we remember what truly matters.

Today, I no longer feel called to separate my work from my life.

The way I raise my children, the way I love, the way I create, and the way I sit with someone before placing the first mark into their skin — they all come from the same place.

Presence.

I don’t believe meaningful transformation comes from someone having all the answers.

I believe something happens when we are deeply listened to. When there is enough time and space to slow down and hear ourselves again.

That’s how I approach every tattoo.

Not simply as a tattoo artist, but as one human being meeting another.

After many years of tattooing, my craft continues to deepen alongside me.

The same needles.
The same hands.
But a different man holding them.

If our paths cross, my hope isn’t simply that you leave with a beautiful, well-made tattoo.

I hope you leave feeling more connected to your own story than when you arrived.

And that the mark we create together becomes something you can return to.

Something you remember.

This is my craft, my path, and something I feel deeply called to share.
