While Scottie may not have yet been featured in any nationally known tattoo magazines, there's a very good chance he's close to getting there. Already highly known with the punk scene in Queens and some of the surrounding areas, Scottie is mostly known for his excellence at free styling, vibrant color, crisp details, and his personal drawing style that entitles a more is less feeling.

History

Born on May 29, 1978 in the South Bronx of New York City, Scottie certainly was not born to the wealthiest family in the South Bronx. In fact, he was born to one of the many families relying on welfare and food stamps. However, being poor never stopped Scottie from doing his best to become his own person and thriving with the life he had.

It was apparent from an early age that Scottie was talented. The drawings he made on the walls of his family’s apartment with crayons were much better than anything a usual three year old could do. However, it seemed from early on that drawing and sketching were his only true skills, for in school, he only did well enough to barely pass. However, as he entered junior high and high school, another talent, though this one less desirable than his artistic skill, began to emerge.

Scottie, put simply, had a talent for getting in trouble. If not getting in fights, it was mouthing off to the wrong teachers, or sometimes even simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Eventually, he was expelled. Not wanting to end up like many of his peers seemed to be, stuck in the South Bronx without any seen way of escape, Scottie instead went to get his GED, and trying to find a way to use his artistic talent in the real world. Eventually, he landed on becoming a tattoo artist, an idea he loved and chose instantly.

With Scottie’s artistic skill, it wasn’t hard to find a place that would give him an apprenticeship. Working on both his GED and apprenticeship at the same time, while also managing to hold a job to support himself, Scottie eventually graduated into the ranks of a full blown tattoo artist, before again going into education, to business school this time. While he loved the parlor he was working at, Scottie still wanted to get out on his own and make a name for himself.

Eventually, he was able to, opening his own shop in Queens with the help of a few friends and bank loans at age 24. Over the following years, his business was not booming, but it was doing well enough, considering the amount of tattoo parlors there are in New York City. If anything, at least, Scottie was able to make something of himself, and get out of the South Bronx like he had always promised himself that he would.
