David Byas AKA D. Willy in the tattoo world since 1989, and more recently as "Doc" in the EDC community, has been a lifelong artist and world traveler.
Originally making tattoos and outsider art, D became seriously interested in making EDC gear and impact weapons around 2013. Being a bit of a self-styled fashionista,

In 2016 he brought one of his daughters, Sydnie, into the fold, and the two have recently opened The Apokalyptik in Urbana, Ohio, combining tattooing and custom-made/bespoke
leather gear into one storefront.
