Small Hands: Alt-Punk Adult Star and Graphic Designer

Small Hands, born on June 25, 1982, in San Diego, California, is a distinctive figure in the adult film industry. With a mixed ethnic background and a Cancer zodiac sign, he stands 175 cm tall with black hair and brown eyes. Despite entering the industry relatively late, he has quickly made a name for himself with his alt-punk aesthetic and unique stage persona.

Career and Rise to Fame

Before his adult film career, Small Hands pursued graphic design, earning a degree in 2003. While studying, he played in several bands and worked as a bartender to support himself. His entry into adult entertainment was unconventional: he first met his future wife, Joanna Angel, when she hired him for graphic design work on her website, BurningAngel.com. Their shared love of tattoos and punk rock led to a personal relationship.

Small Hands made his adult film debut when his wife needed content for her site after a hardware failure. They filmed in a hotel room, and he enjoyed the experience so much that he decided to continue. Initially working exclusively for his wife’s production company, he later branched out to collaborate with other studios and performers. To date, he has appeared in over 150 adult films.

Personal Life and Public Persona

Small Hands is married to Joanna Angel, a fellow adult performer and owner of the popular alt porn site BurningAngel.com. The couple shares a deep connection through their mutual interests in tattoos, punk rock, and graphic design. Small Hands continues to run his graphic design business alongside his performance work, maintaining a dual career path.

Known for his cool, laid-back demeanor and distinctive appearance, Small Hands has become a recognizable figure in the industry. His alt-punk image sets him apart from many mainstream performers, earning him a dedicated following. In recent buzz, he has been noted for his consistent work ethic and ability to balance multiple professional pursuits.
