Growing up in Manchester, England, Dexter and his grandmother traveled all around Western Europe for her work. Through these journeys, he was introduced to the world of classical art. He gained an interest in its history, both contemporary and ancient. He began his professional career as an architect but soon discovered tattooing and all the liberties that came with it.

His tattoo compositions draw from the same inspiration from his upbringing - classical paintings, woodcut engravings, and sculpture work, as well as vintage 20th-century imagery. These integrations create an appeal to the intellect through sometimes surrealistic dichotomies in his micro-realism designs.

He strives to emphasize the influence of fine art in his work - he believes it adds a certain sophistication to how a tattoo adorns a part of the body.
