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.

This tattoo is inspired by the iconic 1945 photograph “V-J Day in Times Square,” captured by Alfred Eisenstaedt. The image was taken in New York City on August 14, 1945, as crowds flooded the streets celebrating the end of World War II after Japan’s surrender was announced.

The photo became one of the most recognized images in American history, symbolizing relief, celebration, and the overwhelming emotions people felt after years of war. Over the decades, it’s come to represent a moment frozen in time — raw emotion, patriotism, love, and the joy of finally coming home.

Done here at The Gilded Coil in black & grey realism to honor a piece of history that still speaks generations later.
