Biography
Forte was born in Santa Monica, California. His mother is a romance novelist, and his father worked as a fashion photographer.[1] He grew up in Berkeley and Oakland,[1] and got his first tattoo at 16.[2] After spending two years seeking an apprenticeship, at 19, Forte began working for tattoo artist Mark Freitas in Berkley,[1][4] Forte saw a career in tattoo as a natural progression from his childhood interests of drawing, painting and skateboarding.[5] Inspired by reading Drunvalo Melchizedek's The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life (1999), Forte became interested in incorporating geometric patterns found in nature,[6] as well as the geometric shapes found in traditional sacred geometry.[2]
After six years, Forte opened his first tattoo studio in Oakland in 2012,[5] and opened his second on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, Los Angeles in 2019. [1] Forte developed a tetrahedral kite tattoo for artist Kat Von D,[7] and tattooed actor Chris Hemsworth in Morocco, based on a design Hemsworth's daughter made while he was filming Men in Black: International in 2018.[8] Forte additionally worked on tattoos with singer Kehlani and linebacker DeAndre Levy,[1] and in 2018 was featured in an episode of Paramount Network's The Art of Ink, focusing on geometric designs.[9]
In 2019, Forte worked with singer Usher on an elaborate head tattoo,[10][11] and on a hand tattoo for Imagine Dragons' bassist Ben McKee.[12] In 2020, Forte launched a range of naturally derived eco-friendly tattoo products.[13]
Style
