Both knees scraped up but at least one came prepared with a Band-Aid. 😂

Had a lot of fun tattooing this knee concept, realistic scraped-up knees with a Band-Aid slapped over one of them.

Something different, a little fu**ed up, and exactly the kind of tattoo I love doing.

I’m always down for weird concepts, realistic injuries, creepy s**t, or ideas that make people look twice.

⚙️ Built with bold lines, solid color, and made to last. ⚙️

Had a blast bringing this traditional mechanic pin-up to life. There’s something timeless about classic tattoo designs that never go out of style.

People often ask why tattoos cost what they do. The truth is, you’re not just paying for the time you’re in the chair—you’re investing in years of experience, countless hours spent drawing, quality equipment, sterile supplies, and artwork you’ll wear for the rest of your life.

Good tattoos aren’t cheap, and cheap tattoos usually aren’t good.

Thanks to my awesome client for trusting me with this one! 🙏

If you’re looking for bold traditional, neo-traditional, black & grey, color, or even fine line work, I’d love to help bring your idea to life.

🌿 Elegant black & grey floral work. 🌿

This piece combines fine line tattooing, smooth stippling shading, and black & grey to create a soft, timeless floral composition that flows naturally with the body, since it was drawn on the skin.

Whether you’re looking for delicate botanicals, large-scale floral work, or custom black & grey designs, I’d love to bring your ideas to life.

Death, decay and a little bit of cartoon chaos ☠️

Had some fun taking a spin on The Lich and bringing him into a darker, more tattoo style world.
Bold lines, heavy black, and just enough color to make it hit.

Always love when I get to twist something nostalgic into something a little more my style

Clean. Bold. Intentional.

This kitsune piece was all about flow and balance keeping that red hitting hard while letting the black and skin breaks do their job.

Always down to create pieces like this that sit right on the body and age the right way.

If you’ve got ideas, hit me up let’s make something solid.

There’s something unsettling about devotion…

A quiet prayer, a watchful gaze
and the feeling that something is staring back.

This piece was all about capturing that eerie balance between faith and fear. Soft tones, subtle shadows, and just enough red to make it feel… alive.

Not all saints rest easy.
