Brian French Tattoos

After more than 24 years of professional tattooing, I’ve decided to make some changes to the way I schedule appointments.

Moving forward, my focus will be on larger-scale custom work, realism, sleeves, back pieces, and projects that allow me to fully invest my time, creativity, and experience into each client.

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to tattoo thousands of amazing people, and I’m incredibly grateful for every client who has trusted me with their skin. As my career continues to evolve, I want to dedicate more of my schedule to the type of work I’m most passionate about creating.

I am currently booking for September and October, with limited availability in November and December for the right projects.

If you’ve been thinking about starting a sleeve, large-scale piece, portrait, black and grey realism project, color realism project, or other custom work, now is a great time to reach out and submit a booking request.

Thank you all for your continued support. It truly means the world to me.

I will be tattooing at Royal Disorder Tattoo Expo this coming September 11-13 here in Joplin. I’m looking for one client that wants to get a large piece done over 3 consecutive days. Either a full back or outside of the leg from hip to ankle. You must be able to sit for 3 days. No cover ups or existing tattoos in the area we would be working on. The price is paid in full upfront to book a convention session. DM if interested in getting in!!!
