Flashback to last year’s work. I’ve got a tap-out challenge: $500 for up to 8 hours. Make it through and you score a tattoo at $62.50/hr. Tap out, and the victory is mine. Are you game?

I might have a few openings this evening — if not, I’ll be working all day tomorrow.

Between two jobs, free days like this don’t come often, so I make the most of them when I can.

For those who know my work, you already know my focus — solid tattoos at prices real people can afford.

I know what it’s like to work hard and stretch every dollar, so I keep things fair:

💸 $60/hr through October.
💵 my standard rate is $80/hr

Some folks ask why bigger shops charge more — truth is, they’ve got higher overhead. Rent, supplies, taxes, and shop cuts can take 30–40% from each artist.

That’s just part of the business, and there are some amazing artists in this city worth every penny.

I’m just keeping it simple — fair prices, honest work, and a real love for the craft.

I wasn’t always good at this, but growth comes from grinding and learning every day.

🙏 Much love to every artist doing their thing.

If you’re looking for clean work at a fair rate, message me or drop your idea below — let’s make something you’ll be proud to wear.

TRUTH EVEN WHEN LIFES TAKE IT FROM ME 💯PEOPLE TOT CARE ABOUZ ABOUTTHE GIID YOU HAVE DONE — take note they will never forget your mistakes!💯

Life kicks hard. People twist your kindness, plot against you, and walk away when you need them most. I’ve been knocked down — more than once — but God’s grace always got me back up.

I started in prison, leading over a hundred men as a pastor. For six years, I poured into others and learned a craft God gave me — tattooing. Needles, ink, machines — I learned it all from scratch. That tattoo machine became my lifeline.

When I got out, I worked at the New Life Center helping people find direction. Then came a moment of honesty, obedience, and integrity — and in one second, everybody turned their back. Alone. Abandoned. Reality hit: I had almost nothing. My daughter, and that tattoo machine — that’s all I had.

I held onto it, mastered my craft, got licensed, and realized my future — my hope — was in my hands.

If you’re struggling, beaten down, or lost, take that first step toward the King. Don’t let fear stop you.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come.”
