📅 BOOKINGS OPEN 📅

October dates are officially OPEN, and I also have a few days still available in September.

If you’ve been waiting to start a new project, sleeves, forearms, back pieces, leg sleeves, or other large-scale Black & Grey work now is a good time to lock in your dates.

Also, I haven’t forgotten about the giveaway I promised 👀 I’ve decided to postpone it until before Christmas. More details coming soon. 🎄

My client wanted to represent his family through gorillas. 🦍
Each one representing a different member of his family, brought together in this full Black & Grey Realism leg piece.

A project built around family, strength, and protection.

Thank you for trusting me with such a meaningful piece. 🖤

IMPORTANT GIVEAWAY UPDATE

After thinking about it, I’ve decided to cancel the current giveaway and restart it with updated rules.

I realized that limiting the giveaway to a forearm tattoo may exclude many people who already have their forearms tattooed, and I want to make this opportunity available to more people.

A new giveaway with updated details will be posted soon.

Thank you to everyone who participated and supported the post. I appreciate all of you and look forward to announcing the new giveaway shortly.
