This was my style of choice when I first started tattooing. My apprenticeship was focused on color gradients, enrichment, hard packing, coloring theory. Some of these are from 5-7 years ago. Some recent and alot cover-ups, can you tell which?














Black and gray tattoos were a challenge for me in the beginning especially Gray wash color tones. I love this tattoo style because of its versatility and it's always a classic, suits every single individual and it's just like pencil drawing. the big ones here are healed photos.














Blackwork tattoos are just pure genius. This is my favorite style. just like I used to draw in my childhood. simple, bold, peppered and pixel shading just pure black ink. The large ones are healed.

"I honestly don’t have enough words to do this artist justice. This piece took 13 hours, and every single minute shows in the final result. The level of detail, flow, contrast, and overall composition is unreal—by far the best work I have on my body."
This is the most important part of the process you give me a design idea, and. I come up with something stylish, dynamic, and with flare. just for you.
