Upon graduating from the University of New Hampshire in 2003, with a degree in communication, Stephen went on to rediscover a lost passion in the arts. He moved to Newport, Rhode Island where he started to produce many works in various mediums. These pieces ended up in galleries and in personal collections, however, not before catching the eye of a fellow peer and tattoo artist. This encounter began the passionate path he is on today. Stephen moved from Newport to Wareham, Ma to work at Sinners and Saints Tattoo. This is where he spent the next few years learning everything he could about the craft of tattooing. At the age of 30, and four years into a life long passion and career, Stephen has teamed up with Body Creations in order to build a like-minded home where the he can grow and excel in an area with inferior competition.
