Oil Painting Style Color • Illustrative Black & Grey • Surrealism portraits
Bio
Ive been tattooing in the area for many years in many different shops, a couple of my own shops and with some amazing artists. Now i’m excited to be part of The Ink Collective Team
I strive to be better with every tattoo and I enjoy the relationships i’ve created with most of my clients. if your searching for a new (or old) artist, ask around i’m sure i’ve tattooed someone you know and if they have anything other than positive to say about me ,please ask them to message me so I have the opportunity to change their opinion.
I love doing large tattoos that flow with the body and filling empty space with clouds, fire, smoke, skulls and or filigree, drawing directly on the skin is my preference. I also enjoy portraits animals and people black and gray or color. or small clean girly stuff if that’s your jam
email me or dm to see if I can help you out.
