BIOGRAPHY! Will did not have an easy childhood. His mother was bipolar and her often changing moods forced Will to learn at a young age how to read and react to her without making her moods worse. It was exhausting for the young boy and he became more and more withdrawn from interacting with others at school. He turned to art as an outlet. When he was twelve his neighbors noticed a smell coming from Will's apartment. His mother, in a depressive episode, had not cleaned the apartments in weeks. Child services was called and he was sent to a foster care while his mother was evaluated by child protective services. At first, she claimed she would clean up, get on medication and go to therapy and he was returned but instead his mother fled and took Will to his grandparents where she left him. It hurt Will but also introduced him to witchcraft and the occult. His grandmother was a practicing Wiccan and kitchen witch. She taught will more and more of the craft as he grew older and it was her that introduced him to the ancient practice of magical tattoos through books and history lessons. Will, who had continued to work on his art, finally figured out what he wanted to do with his life and his budding magical powers. He studied business and art in college and then apprenticed at a tattoo shop in New York. There he met Dean Murphy who would become his best friend while he continued to work on his tattooing skills and saving up to open his own tattoo shop. After opening his own shop, Preternatural Tattoos, he built his reputation in the magical community for strong magical tattoos and a very fair personality.
