The tattoos that make people want to pore over every detail, while still catching someone’s eye across the room.

The foundation of all of my work is realism. Designing tattoos that naturally flow with the body — while naturally pushing the piece with an element of the surreal. A neon light source that shouldn’t exist, a face that bleeds into graffiti, a morphing color that feels like it’s moving even when it’s still.

Color realism is ideal for an original piece of art, memorializing a moment in your life, or making a tribute to your favorite pop culture hero.

There is one commonality between the cities of the world… no matter where you are. People feel the need to express themselves and make their voices heard through art — street art.

Though newer in the tattoo world, incorporating graffiti and street art into your design creates a bold spin on the realism you’re used to seeing.

Now, when I tattoo a face without graffiti, face tattoos, or neon, it feels a little empty.

Illustrative tattoos are where art really took hold of my life. My anime and childhood drawings are the reason I became an artist.

Comics, manga, animation. Pixar, Disney, the Spiderverse. The worlds and characters that shaped you, brought to life on your skin the only way a lifelong fan could do it.

I love the nuance of the natural and human form. Pinups, florals, the figure. This is work that fits the body naturally, that uses your anatomy as it flows into the artwork.

This is artwork meant for everyone. With a healthy dose of pink throughout.

Some tattoos take an afternoon. These take months.

A thought-out sleeve. A unified back piece. A cohesive leg. Large-scale projects are a favorite of mine — but they take commitment. Sessions of pain followed by healing, and the mental preparation to do it all again.

These projects are more than tattoos. They are a process internally, as the external art takes form.

The projects in this gallery range from 35 hours on a single-sided panel to 150 hours on leg sleeves (like the Spiderverse piece).

Artistic boundaries have always been more of a guideline than an actual rule.

This is the gallery for everything that doesn’t fit neatly into a category — and that’s exactly why it exists. Some of the most interesting work happens when there’s no brief, no constraints, and no subject matter. Just starting inspiration, and wherever the work wants to go.

If you’re drawn to this gallery, you probably already know what kind of client you are and the freedom of artistry you’re after.

The designs here each started with an idea couldn’t let go of and ended up loving.

This is a collection of original designs born from my own inspiration and imagination. Pre-made and ready to tattoo as-is. If something here speaks to you, mention it in your inquiry.

Most of my work is custom — built around your concept from scratch. But I love clients interested in my pre-designed work.
