Ryan started piercing in 1999 in Salt Lake City Utah, after his apprenticeship and after a brief stay at his shop he moved to Las Vegas to work on the strip. He stayed there for several years and while in vegas he hooked up with Ozzfest and toured the summers with them as thier piercer. After Ryan tired of LV he moved back to Salt lake for several years before moving and working in several other states including AZ and CA. Most recently he has come to call Texas his home.

Ryan is a master body piercer and can do any body piercing you might desire. He is a master of surface piercings and dermal anchoring. He is also freehand piercer, what this means to you is that he doesnt use clamps, the most painful part in some peoples opinion. He is also a branding and scarification artist and performs both strike and thermal cautery branding along with scalpel scarification.

We here at Eastside tattoo are pleased to have Ryan as our head piercer so please come in anytime to see him.
