Introducing Decker, an acclaimed tattoo artist hailing from Newfoundland, Canada, with a track record of award-winning, internationally published artistry. His journey into the world of professional tattooing began in 2008, but his artistic journey exstends further into his youth, with paintings dating as far back as 1992.

After refining his craft in his native Newfoundland, Decker set his sights on the vibrant tattoo show circuit and competitions across Canada. Within a remarkably short span of just two years, he clinched his first award for portraits, marking the beginning of a remarkable streak. To date, Decker has amassed an impressive tally of nine awards at various tattoo competitions, including the prestigious "Tattoo of the Day" accolade, which he has claimed an astounding four times. These accolades stand as a testament to his unwavering dedication and expertise in his craft.

Elevating his role in the industry, Decker then served as a respected judge at Canadian tattoo competitions, drawing upon his mastery and experience to assess the work of emerging talent. His influence extends beyond national borders, with stints working internationally in vibrant tattoo scenes such as Iceland and Amsterdam.

These global experiences have enriched Decker's artistic perspective and technique, which he proudly brings back to Newfoundland, enriching the tattoo community with his unique skills and insights. Today, Decker calls Corner Brook, Newfoundland, home, where he operates his studio, specializing in portrait work and large-scale custom realistic styles. Whether it's capturing the essence of a loved one in a portrait or creating intricate, lifelike designs, Decker's dedication to his craft ensures an unparalleled experience for his cherished clients.
