Gabe has been programming computers since 1984. In the 90's Gabe developed CD-ROMs for Honda, touch-screen kiosks for the Epcot Center, & Smurf video games in Belgium. Since 2003 Gabe has been working exclusively for the tattoo industry. He hasn't slept much since then, but now has a lot more tattoos.
Core Values:
Enlightenment - Education: To this end, we help as much as we can to create and tap into inspiring and educational events both in person and online.
Evolution
Have done things differently since the beginning, and helped tattooers, studios, and companies evolve with the times. Both technology and the culture demand it.
Endurance
It takes a long time of discomfort to get to the pretty thing. We have been competing with free since the mid-90s. Gone through 8 figure ups and downs. Will be working in the tattoo world to help tattooers leave their maximum impact till the end.
