James naturally gravitated toward tattooing after initially pursuing his passions for drawing and painting.
 

Raised in a family of artists, he was introduced to the Patutiki style through the guidance of his brother-in-law, who hails from a Marquesan background.
 

In his work, he appreciates the delicate balance of fine lines combined with the bold contrast of solid black elements.
 

He consistently channels his positive energy towards Taravao, his hometown, where he draws inspiration from the lush landscapes of mountains and ocean, seamlessly incorporating them into his artistic expression.
 

James values qualities such as discretion, humility, and attentiveness.
As a dedicated artist, he continually strives for growth and improvement.
