Chris Sage Tattoo MIAMI

60 Hours Sleeve over 5.5 sessions

Last tattoo of 2025, done on my boy Mnason, who came all the way from St. Petersburg to make this project happen. This piece was completed over two sessions—there’s still some healing going on around the neck and armpit area—but I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

I approached this tattoo with a different technique, focusing on readability and contrast to better suit my client’s darker skin tone. The key here was restraint—less is more. Allowing the skin to breathe and shine through, while using only strategic darks and light mid-tones, helped create volume, clarity, and strong shape without overworking the surface.

Super proud of this one and excited about where this approach is taking my work. Big things coming next year—many surprises ahead. Can’t wait to see what unfolds. 🖤🔥

Had the honor of doing this beautiful portrait for my client Jonathan, in memory of his brother who passed away. This tattoo is a meaningful part of his grieving and healing process, and I feel truly grateful to have been part of such an important moment.

Now he’ll always be with you, brother — watching your back the way he always did. I hope this piece brings you some closure and marks the beginning of a new chapter filled with more joy, strength, and faith that things will be okay.

Thank you again for trusting me with something so personal. I’m looking forward to finishing the remaining details and hearing how this experience has impacted you. 🙏🖤

2 consecutive days of work on this full-sleeve project 🙌🔥
Man… this one has been such an enjoyable process from start to finish. My client — and now friend — Axel has been incredibly patient, supportive, and trusting. He gave me full creative range to do my thing, and projects like this are the ones that fuel me.

When I’m working like this, I literally forget time exists. No back pain, no exhaustion, no stress — just pure creative flow. That’s when you know you’re tapped into something special.

Axel, thank you so much for your support and patronage, brother. I’m genuinely happy you are the one carrying this masterpiece. Very well deserved. 🙏🎨

Had so much fun doing this Bowser piece. To my surprise, it only took me about 10 hours to complete — and the reason is pretty exciting.

This was the first time I tried a new application technique that lets me layer colors directly on the skin in a different way. It gives me smoother transitions, deeper blends, and a way more organic, nuanced color gradient. The end result feels richer, more dimensional, and a lot more realistic.

I’m genuinely excited to keep pushing this style further. Tattooing, to me, is all about iteration, feedback, and growth — pushing your limits, risking failure, and discovering new levels of craftsmanship through the process. Every mistake teaches you something. Every win opens a new door.

Can’t wait to do more pieces like this. 🔥🎮

Did this absolutely stunning piece over 3 consecutive days for my guy Corey. He flew all the way from Atlanta to work with me, and honestly, every time someone travels like that it hits me — it’s humbling as hell and incredibly motivating. 🙏🔥

This tattoo is way different from the style I’ve been doing for years. Lately I’ve been exploring this new aesthetic that blends realism with ornamental surrealism — where light, color, movement, and flow become the real protagonists.

Instead of packing the piece with a ton of small details, I wanted to scale everything up to fit the anatomy and create massive visual impact. When this approach is done right, the tattoo feels alive — like it wraps around the body with intention.

I gotta say… this is one of the most satisfying tattoos I’ve ever done, if not the most. I really felt myself leveling up artistically while working on it.

If anyone wants something in this aesthetic — big, bold, surreal, and flow-driven — I’d love to create something crazy cool for you. Let’s build something unforgettable. ⚡️🎨
