Japanese Traditional

Japanese Traditional is a timeless choice that accentuates your body’s natural beauty with flowing designs. Choose from traditional Japanese imagery or let me design something that combines your personal story with this elegant style.

American Traditional

Choose American Traditional tattoos for bold lines and bright colors that last. Opt for iconic symbols like roses and panthers, bring your own design, or let me design something that fuses this bold style with your preferred imagery.

Neo Traditional

Neo Traditional tattoos offer a modern twist on classic styles. With more colors and intricate details, these tattoos blend bold traditional techniques with innovation for a piece that stands out. Let’s collaborate on your new favorite tattoo.

Illustrative

This style involves varying lone weights and a more sketchy approach. It’s reminiscent of the imagery found in comic books or graphic novels. Perfect for rendering super heros, Pokemon, or anime in and works well in blackwork or a simple color palette
