Born in Brooklyn to first-generation Trinidadian immigrant parents, Reuben S. Collymore started tattooing in Indiana while working towards receiving his BFA in Impressionism from Indiana University. In the 17 years since, he’s worked his way up from small shops in the mid west to world-renowned tattooing institutions across America. With a special interest and expertise in both fine line and traditional black & grey.
