Straight Talk
If the lowest price is what matters most, we might not be the right fit — and that's okay. I'm not the cheapest, but I'll give you work you're still proud of years down the road.
My Work
Recent Pieces
Recent work — every piece drawn for the person wearing it, not pulled off a wall.
The Studio
Black and grey, done properly.
Five years in black-and-grey realism, and it's still the only work I want to do. Soft shading, fine detail, and pieces that keep their depth as the years go on.
The studio stays quiet and unhurried. First tattoo or fifteenth, every question gets answered and the design gets worked through properly — before a needle ever touches skin.
