Historically trained in woodcraft, Ash is a master carpenter as well as a tattoo artist.

It’s no wonder his tattoos can take on the texture of stone, wood, or metal, considering his intimate understanding of natural materials.

Ash runs his own Viking Age reenactment fight group called Njordan Jorfors.
