Born and raised in Sylacaua, Alabama, Brian grew up building muscle cars and drawing. He moved to Houston, Texas in 2000 to pursue a career in cars, but as fate would have it, ended up in the US Navy in 2001. That choice brought him to Misawa, Japan, where he learned to tattoo from a very patient, punk loving Japanese artist in February 2009. Still working full time for the Navy during the day, Brian and Chris Nettles opened Ink Addiction in February 2010 after the shop they learned in closed. He strives to continually produce better work with every tattoo, while providing a fun atmosphere for clients and artists alike. Some of his interest include Japanese beer, Irish music, and long walks to the bar....
