Fresh vs. healed

Built to last

Anyone's work looks good the day it's done. Here's the same tattoo fresh off the table and after it settled into the skin — the contrast and soft grey hold.

Custom lettering

Your name, drawn

Every piece of lettering is drawn by hand for the person wearing it — sized to your back, chest or arm, never typed out from a font.

What I tattoo

The styles

I

Black & grey realism

Portraits, religious pieces, statues and scenes — smooth grey wash with depth that holds up after it heals.

II

Traditional

Bold lines, solid fills, classic imagery built to read from across the room and age well.

III

Custom lettering

Names, dates, scripts and blackletter headers drawn for you — not pulled from a font menu.
