Death, decay and a little bit of cartoon chaos ☠️

Had some fun taking a spin on The Lich and bringing him into a darker, more tattoo style world.
Bold lines, heavy black, and just enough color to make it hit.

Always love when I get to twist something nostalgic into something a little more my style

Clean. Bold. Intentional.

This kitsune piece was all about flow and balance keeping that red hitting hard while letting the black and skin breaks do their job.

Always down to create pieces like this that sit right on the body and age the right way.

If you’ve got ideas, hit me up let’s make something solid.

There’s something unsettling about devotion…

A quiet prayer, a watchful gaze
and the feeling that something is staring back.

This piece was all about capturing that eerie balance between faith and fear. Soft tones, subtle shadows, and just enough red to make it feel… alive.

Not all saints rest easy.

It’s that time of year… we’re headed to Wyoming.

May 1–3 you can catch us tattooing at the 1st annual in Green River, WY.

We’re beyond excited to be part of this one and bring some solid work out to a new crowd. If you’re in the area, pull up, say what’s up, and let’s make something happen.

Huge thank you to for putting this together and giving us the opportunity to be involved.

Let’s make it a good one. 🖤

From pain to power.

This piece means more than just ink.
Years of struggle, healing, and strength are carried in this arm and today, we transformed that story into something that reflects her worth, not her wounds.

Medusa isn’t just a symbol of fear… she’s a symbol of survival, protection, and reclaiming power.

Thank you for the trust. Moments like this are why I do what I do.

Your story isn’t over and it was never defined by your scars.

This is why custom tattoos matter,
Because real tattoos aren’t generated
they’re earned.

One idea.
One artist.

AI can help explain a concept but trust is what turns it into art.

Forever grateful for clients who believe in my vision and give me full artistic freedom. That’s where the real magic lives.
