Ed came to Portland at the right time with the right mindset. His work has a bright, vintage, nostalgic appearance marinaded with street art secret sauce. From the first time I met him to now, he’s built up a tattoo shop and is almost always booked months out. That being said, there are growing pains and self-realizations that emerge in the process. It’s refreshing to hear about how he re-shaped his branding on social, and why he felt it was time for a change. I know a lot of artists (or businesses in general) fear changes like that, but he took plunges that definitely paid off.

Having started from “the ground up” I recognize the humbleness in his character, and his openness to talk with artists trying to grow themselves. It’s a contagious trait that I believe all should learn to share. Hear our conversation and definitely give him a follow on IG. Dental Bonez IG
