Self taught, self made, African American entrepreneur, Taz has been creating tattoos for over 20 years from 12 years old. Deemed a "warrior"- a Spartan Helmet tattooed on his scalp encasing a Mohawk- Taz, being born into poverty and drugs, brought himself and his family out of living lives of addiction and rejuvenated the depressed community through the artistry of tattooing. Living on the edge, Taz defies the "normality" of society making society conform to his image by becoming a legendary superstar throughout the state of Louisiana. His limits are not just confined to Louisiana, Taz is well known throughout the United States for his artistry and humble beginnings.

Being born in adversity, strife and tribulation, no holds barred- Taz took leaps and bounds creating the man and the image he is today- the "King of New Orleans" in the tattoo industry.
