Born and raised in the humid, mosquito-infested wilds of West Tennessee, Galen spent his youth dodging bugs and daydreaming about monsters. Guided by an undying love for art and Dungeons & Dragons, his quest led him to the mystical lands of the Pacific Northwest. There, under the guidance of masters David Goldstein and Joe Skramstad, Galen began forging his destiny, one tattoo at a time, transforming from humble adventurer to full-fledged ink wizard.

Galen enjoys bold, illustrative tattoos, from wacky rubber hose characters full of vintage charm to, creatures dripping with teeth, eyes, and attitude.
