Sydney

I’ve always loved art, both creating it and viewing it.  When my father Wulff was being trained by Bonnie Jean and her crew at Tattoo by Design, I knew that’s what I wanted to do.  The atmosphere in the shop was always so warm and welcoming, as were the personalities of the employees.  As early as first grade I had an interest in being a tattooist, by third grade I knew for sure it was what I wanted to do.  After years of wanting to go back to the shop since my father’s leaving it, I finally went in and bottled the courage to ask if I could be taught by the people I’d grown attached to, so many years ago.  To my delight, I was enthusiastically welcomed.

It was exciting and overwhelming to finally achieve that which before had seemed a dream career, somehow out of reach.  I joined the crew of TBD in May of 2006, became a member of the Alliance of Professional Tattooists in July 2006, and can now complete my dream of being a professional tattoo artist with the people I’ve always loved and admired for years.
