Christopher Bonin

Originally from Massachusetts, Chris joined the United States Marines at the young age of 17. He would always draw and make art as a young child, but being exposed to his fellow comrades getting tattooed opened his eyes to the world of tattooing. While on a combat tour in Afghanistan he would draw tattoo concepts and flash for those who wanted tattoos when they returned home. Once he returned from his tour overseas he began to get heavily tattooed in Southern California and fell even more in love with the art of tattooing. This is when he decided to not move back to Boston and go to college, but to start his apprenticeship in Costa Mesa, California in 2010. He tattooed for 7 years in California and then traveled the United States simultaneously tattooing and exploring the land. He would eventually move back to Maine to be closer to his Family and begin tattooing here in 2021. His favorite styles of tattooing are American Traditional, Japanese, and Black and Grey. If he's not tattooing, he's spending time with his fur child Zoey or out exploring the beautiful back roads of New England on his motorcycle.
