SERVICES
Below is a breakdown of the styles I specialize in — if you don't see exactly what you're after, reach out anyway, id be more than happy to point you in the direction of an artist that could be your fit.
BLACK & GREY
Fine detail, depth, and dimension in monochrome.
Black and grey is the foundation of the craft. Working entirely in ink and water, this style demands precise control over shading, contrast, and tonal range. The result is work that feels dimensional — portraits, realism, illustrative pieces — rendered with depth that color can't always achieve. It ages beautifully when done right.
Examples
- Portraits
- Realism
- Illustrative pieces
- Memorial tattoos
- Wildlife
FINE LINE
Delicate, precise work built to last.
Fine line tattooing is all about restraint and control. Single-needle or tight groupings create crisp, minimal designs — botanical work, geometric patterns, delicate script, small detailed pieces. The challenge is building something that holds up over time without blowout or fading. Placement and technique matter enormously here.
Examples
- Botanical / floral
- Geometric
- Minimalist designs
- Small detailed pieces
- Delicate portraits
TRADITIONAL
Bold outlines, rich colors, classic American heritage.
American Traditional is one of the most enduring tattoo styles for a reason — bold black outlines, a limited but saturated color palette, and iconic imagery that reads clearly from across the room. These tattoos are built to last decades. The rules exist for a reason, and working within them produces something timeless.
Examples
- Eagles & panthers
- Anchors & ships
- Roses & daggers
- Skulls
- Classic Americana
NEO-TRADITIONAL
Classic structure, modern illustration sensibility.
Neo-traditional keeps the bold outlines and intentional color of American Traditional but opens the door to more complex compositions, expanded color palettes, and illustrative detail. Think of it as the bridge between old-school tattooing and contemporary illustration — structured, but with more room to breathe.
Examples
- Illustrative animals
- Floral compositions
- Portrait-adjacent work
- Fantasy & mythology
- Complex color pieces
LETTERING / SCRIPT
Names, quotes, and meaningful words done right.
Lettering is one of the most requested styles and one of the most unforgiving. Inconsistent spacing, uneven baselines, or letters that don't flow together are permanent. I take the time to get it right — whether it's a single name, a full quote, or a custom typographic piece. Clean, consistent, and built to stay legible.
Examples
- Names & dates
- Quotes & lyrics
- Memorial text
- Custom typography
- Mixed lettering styles
UV / BLACKLIGHT
Ink that lives a double life — seen and unseen.
UV-reactive ink adds a hidden layer to a tattoo that only reveals itself under blacklight. It can be used as a standalone piece or layered into existing black and grey work to create a dramatic dual effect — subtle in daylight, glowing under UV. This is specialty work that requires specific inks and technique to execute cleanly.
Examples
- UV accents on existing tattoos
- Standalone UV designs
- Blacklight-reactive highlights
- Hidden details in larger pieces
THE PROCESS
01
Reach Out
Book online or call. Tell me what you're thinking — even a rough idea is enough to start.
02
Consultation
We talk through placement, size, style, and reference. This is where the idea takes shape.
03
Custom Design
I draw something built specifically for you — not pulled from a flash sheet.
04
Your Session
Sessions run 2–8 hours depending on the piece. We go at a pace that works for you.
PRICING
Pricing is based on the size, complexity, and placement of the piece — not a flat hourly rate. Every quote is custom because every tattoo is custom. A small fine-line piece and a full sleeve require very different conversations.
A deposit is required to hold your appointment. Deposits go toward the total cost of your tattoo. Reach out to get a quote for your specific idea.
