Dueler is an OG tattoo artist with twenty-eight years of experience! His rough beginnings in Watts, CA made way for a talented, well-respected artist who lives by his inherently artistic talents. His respect for the artists who showed him the correct way on how to become a tattoo artist is outstandingly commendable and speaks to his own and personal journey as a knowledgeable, well-traveled tattoo artist. His ability to listen and observe the works of honorable tattoo artists, such as Tennessee Dave, in his younger years has definitely projected him onto a path of artistic self-discovery and wisdom. Although he’s well past his apprenticeship days of building his own machines- of which he still owns- he’s most definitely humbled by his beginnings and his career speaks truth to his high-principality.
