Refined Techniques

Specialized Expertise

Below are core disciplines practiced daily - each under the same high standard of craft and care. Sometimes I draw it on, sometimes I draw it out, sometimes I even sculpt it. Every project is 100% custom all the way through.

Blackwork

Bold, saturated designs with decisive contrast and enduring pigment for statement pieces that age with grace and intention.

Portraiture

Delicate, highly detailed work focused on precision and subtlety—ideal for portraits, scripts, and botanical studies.

Surrealism

Understated compositions focused on refined shape and negative space for maximum subtlety and impact.

Ornamental

Intricate patterns and decorative motifs drawn from global traditions, crafted for balance and timelessness.

Geometric

Mathematical precision meets aesthetic clarity, clean lines, sacred geometry, and structured compositions.

Custom Design

Collaborative design process ensuring every tattoo is tailored to your story and executed with intentionality.

Portfolio

Begin Your Journey

I want to make you a Conversation Piece!

Book a consultation to discuss your vision and timeline. We’ll talk placement, design, and a custom approach so your piece fits your life and body perfectly. I do these over Zoom from anywhere. Preferably in the necouple of days.

I get around!

I'm best at Tech and Problem Solving. Less so at ... Over the years these are some of the projects that I have built. I am available for collaborations of all types.
