George began tattooing in the late 1980s. Over time, his focus shifted toward large-scale Japanese tattooing, where structure, pacing, and long-term clarity play a central role.
His approach developed through sustained work on complex projects, emphasizing the relationship between tradition, anatomy, and modern practice rather than stylistic imitation.
The practice is dedicated exclusively to gendai irezumi, understood not as a decorative style but as a structured system of composition.
Projects are developed with attention to anatomical flow, balance, and long-term readability. This focus requires selectivity in both subject matter and process.
