From an early age, it was clear Tim had two passions; art and martial arts. As a young child, Tim would draw on paper, walls, clothing, himself....whatever was available. Starting martial arts at the age of 11 introduced Tim to the Eastern cultures of Japan, China, Korea, Thailand and the Philippines. This exposure strongly influenced him aesthetically, spiritually and philosophically.

After a few years of drawing tattoo designs for friends and himself, Tim began tattooing while attending the School of Visual Arts. Majoring in Illustration, he received the award for Outstanding Achievement and Dedication, ultimately earning his B.F.A. in 2003. He utilized this knowledge and experience to hone his drawing and design skills for tattooing. 

After competing for many years in various Martial Arts like Muay Thai, San Shou and MMA, and traveling the world tattooing in countries throughout Europe to Southeast Asia, Tim’s passion and knowledge for both Art and Martial Arts continues to grow and thrive, which is prevalent in his work. Tim takes these influences into his tattooing using Realism, Illustrative, Japanese and Spiritual themes and techniques to create a unique style.

What happens at the Paradise Tattoo Gathering?

Inspiration 

At The Paradise Tattoo Gathering, we're all about creating events that inspire tattooers and artists of all mediums, both online and in real life. It's one of our most favorite things! We believe that when creatives come together, magic happens. That's why we've made it our mission to provide a platform for artists to connect, learn, and grow.

Our events are designed to be inclusive and welcoming to artists of all levels, from beginners to seasoned professionals, and all cultures/sub-cultures.  We believe that everyone has something to teach and something to learn. That's why our artist list is always filled with inspirational talent from a variety of backgrounds and styles.

Education

At The Paradise Tattoo Gathering, we're all about helping tattooers, apprentices, and tattoo vets take their skills to the next level. That's why our events are designed to be immersive professional development experiences that include a wide range of activities.

From seminars and discussion panels to critiques and workshops, our events are tailored to meet the needs of tattooers at all levels. We believe that by bringing together talent from around the world, we can create a collaborative learning environment that is truly life-changing.

Our events have been described as transformative by many tattooers, who have come away from them feeling inspired, motivated, and empowered. We hope you'll join us for one of our upcoming events and experience the magic for yourself.

Networking

Let me tell you something about the power of networking. It can change lives. Bringing like-minded people together is a powerful force that can inspire, create working relationships, and forge lifelong friendships. For over a decade, the PTG event has been doing just that.

The PTG brings together diverse artists who share a common goal - to better themselves, to better the tattoo community, and to make a positive impact on the world. Tattooing is a form of art that has a significant impact on cultures, and it is our responsibility to become positive stewards of this art for the time we are here.

By working with like-minded individuals, we can create a culture of respect, inclusivity, and creativity. The PTG is a place where artists can meet, network, and collaborate to shape the future of the tattoo industry and its impact on society.
