Had fun doing this decaying snake on a bramble thorn. We really went for a less is more look on this allowing only the snake to have by shading or texture.

Finally had the pleasure of doing this frog design I created years ago 🐸

This client came in looking for just some random flash, when I showed him this design he was hyped!
I always feel so honored when someone decides to get one of my custom designs, & I still have plenty of ideas ready for a forever home. All my designs are one-offs so you won’t see them on anyone else 😎

Did you know Red foxes use the Earth’s magnetic field as a built-in “range finder” to calculate the precise distance of hidden prey during a hunting leap.🤯 The things animals on this planet are capable of are incredible.

This was a super fun tattoo to do, if you’re interested in getting a awesome tattoo similar to this.

Had the pleasure of doing this awesome squid as a walk-in before going on vacation!

Finished this fairy inspired book flower with a cute little snake 🐍

I am the worst at posting 😫 I really appreciate all of those who still like and enjoy the stuff I put up on here. I am going to try and be better about posting and showing everyone a little bit more of my process. I am just not really a content creator or an influencer, so hopefully you will all join me on this journey to post more tattoo content!

When you’re a fan of the Phyrexians, you need to start working toward perfection…
No better place to start than putting their symbol directly on your hand!

This was a super fun Magic the Gathering piece to do, even if it is way out of my normal style of tattoos 😌 The mixture of course and smooth textures really makes this bio-organic style super dynamic.

If you’re looking for a tattoo that is bold and makes you stand out from the crowd, use the link in my bio or DM to book your appointment today! 🔗 📆

“The Dark emanates from Manus himself. Even if you defeat Artorias, the spread of the Dark will not be stopped.” -Hawkeye Gough

This Manus from Dark Souls tattoo was a real challenge for me, but I love how it came out. The way the eye glow came out is exactly how I was envisioning it. I appreciate Trevor Mahanke for allowing me the opportunity to make yet another awesome piece for him. I am always booking new projects, if you would like to book use the link in my bio or DM to book.

Feeling fruity? I had a blast tattooing these oranges, on these two long time friends. They are truly significant to them, as that’s how they started being friends. it all started with a loose orange rolling up to a teacher in 8th grade science. Do you and you best friend having a matching tattoo? Do you want one? DM or use the link in my bio to book your appointment today.
