Tattoo Apprentice Kyle Goudzwaard
Kyle was born in 2000 and raised in Muskegon, Michigan. He has been around art his entire life, whether it be sketching cartoons as a kid or getting in trouble drawing on his desks in school. In addition to drawing, he has taken an interest in graffiti murals as well.
Kyle enjoys sports of any kind and has always has had a knack for competition. Kyle attended Grand Valley State University pursuing an art education degree, but shortly after began to find more of a passion for tattooing. He pursued apprenticeships through any opportunity he could. After months of searching he found his second home with A.W.O.L. He began his apprenticeship in October of 2019 under Ray, and found some great friendships among his coworkers.
Kyle's favorite styles to practice in are neotradtional and new school tattoos. However, he's happy with any style as long is the tattoo is constructed well and the customer is happy. If and when he gets free time, he enjoys sketching and hanging out with his friends.
