You'll all probably learn more about me from all those questions we have to answer than just skimming through all this and (most likely) not reading any of it.

I'm not like a lot of other gay men. With my life, I've tried to keep myself from being dramatic, pretentious, aggressive or anything other than a good person to hang out with. Always willing to grab a beer but not into week-long bar crawls any more.

I paid for college working as a tattoo artist for over five years. Yes, I have tattooed myself (my left sleeve) and currently own a tattoo parlor called T@2 near NODA. I've been in Charlotte for two years and I've really enjoyed my time here so far.

Recently out of a relationship and found that all of the friends I made here were friends with my ex's first, so mainly looking to build my own group to hang out with. I'm very easy to talk to, try to be kind at all times and just happened to find myself on here.

I graduated from BGSU with a BFA in Jewelry/Metals. I've worked in Charlotte for the show Homeland for the past two seasons. I now own a tattoo parlor called T@2 near NODA.

Art and the next thing to create. Life and what to do next. I'm a pretty big planner.

Hanging out with my sister and her Great Dane. Both of which are my best friends.

I double dipped in the hummus. I didn't know what to say but I'm an open book.

You're fun and looking for someone who isn't your typical gay guy.
