Butch Bautista was born November 16, in Quezon City and occasionally spending his time in Taytay. There were not much exposure to tattoos while growing up, but his love for art was always there since he first picked up his pencil and drew something on paper. He got his interest in tattoos when he was asked by classmates to make mock tattoos using a plain pen, eventually getting his ring finger inked back when he was in college. Unfortunately, he had to hide that tattoo as his folks didn?t like the idea of people getting one. After finishing college, Butch worked normal day jobs and only did tattoos as a hobby on the side when his friends and buddies would ask for it.
