Scheinbaum was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, studied art at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the College of Santa Fe, and apprenticed under Mark Vigil at Four Star Tattoo in Santa Fe before tattooing at Saved Tattoo in Brooklyn, Kings Avenue Tattoo in New York, and Seventh Son in San Francisco, then opening Shrine Tattoo in Santa Fe in 2019. He works in black and grey, dotwork, and blackwork with floral, macabre, and religious subject matter, and cites Japanese woodblock prints as an influence on how he composes his work while saying he does not do Japanese tattoos. In 2016 he founded Afterlife Press, which he runs as founder, CEO, and editor in chief, publishing limited-edition tattoo books built from his own long-form interviews, process drawings, and photography, including volumes on Chris O'Donnell and Grime, on Chris Garver and Horitomo, and on Henning Jorgensen and Mike Rubendall.
