What up council,
Kelli has been collecting tattoos from me for a few years now, and somehow every idea gets cooler than the last. đź–¤Thanks for always trusting me with the fun ones, friend.

Some Healed // some fresh
Loved getting to do this Guadalupe piece with the Three Crosses underneath. I always enjoy tattooing Guadalupes, especially soft black and grey pieces like this. I also love that tattoos like this give the wearer opportunities to share the Gospel — that’s such a gift 🙏🏻 Excited to see how everything settles once it’s fully healed.

Robot hand + rose piece
Some fresh, some healed. Client wanted a super specific hand position and I had a lot of fun with all the metal texture in this one.

What up council,
Got to do this mermaid piece right before my client deploys overseas. The blue hair was inspired by his wife, and with 6 kids, these two are VERY in love lol. Praying God keeps him safe and brings him home to his family soon.

What up council,
This little framed tree was so fun to do. soft black & grey, tiny ornaments, and all the cozy nostalgic vibes. Honestly I wish it could be Christmas all the time.

What up council,
This sleeve is a reminder that your story and even your tattoos can be used for something bigger.

My sister-in-law has been using this piece to open conversations about her faith and share the truth of Jesus.

Every detail points back to Him—from the name of God in Hebrew, to the Lion of Judah, to scripture, the empty tomb, and even her daughter represented as a prayer warrior walking in faith.

It’s been so humbling to be a part of something like this.



If you believe, don’t hide it. You never know who’s watching or who needs to hear it. 🖤

What up council,

Some healed // some fresh

So many tiny shapes, so many little sections that all had to hit the same smooth value… no shortcuts anywhere. Pieces like this are all about patience—taking the time to make everything flow evenly so it reads clean from a distance but still holds up close.

Huge thank you to my client for trusting the process and never rushing me. That kind of trust is what allows tattoos like this to come out the way they should. This isn’t fast work—it’s intentional work.

I love getting to slow down and really build something like this.

If you’re into detailed black & grey like this, I’m booking 🖤

What up council,
That quiet moment before the chaos.

I love doing little movie scenes like this—Joker walking away, mask in hand.

What up council,
The Three Sisters—corn, beans, and squash—aren’t just crops, they work together.
The corn grows tall and gives the beans something to climb.
The beans feed the soil.
The squash spreads out and protects everything underneath.

They all need each other to really thrive.

There’s something really beautiful about that—just taking care of each other and keeping things in balance

I love doing pieces like this, My grandfather is full Cherokee, so every time I get to do indigenous imagery like this it feels like I’m staying connected to that part of my family and where I come from.
