About

I am Mike Wheeler

Originally from Connecticut, I started tattooing in 2003 where I served a tattooing apprenticeship and worked for four years with my mentor to learn the craft.

On the move

I moved on to Orlando, Florida for schooling at the Motorcycle Mechanics Institute and was fortunate enough to work with the crew at Inkredible Ink Tattoo where I was given my first real taste of traditional tattooing.

The return

After coming back to Connecticut I further honed my skills at Body Graphics Tattoo and later had the chance to work with the all-star cast at Providence Tattoo.

Progression

Needing a change of pace, I ventured up to Hadley, Massachusetts in the scenic Pioneer Valley. There I worked alongside the talented Tim Brewer at Blueprint Gallery Tattoo.

My new home

I made my way down to North Carolina in the fall of 2013. I now work at Glenn's Tattoo in beautiful Carrboro, which has given me the opportunity and freedom to progress as a traditional tattoo artist.
