CUTE CRITTER CARICATURES

Character Captured!

Caricature is probably my favorite style of art to do but I rarely get to tattoo it. I will do the FIRST couple of Custom caricatures at a $1,000 Day rate right now.

THE lineup

Warm, realistic portrait of a happy Golden Retriever wearing a blue bandana, painted in a soft contemporary style.

Golden Boy

Humorous portrait of a French Bulldog with oversized eyes and tongue out while sitting by a window in expressive painterly style.

Window Watcher

Surreal caricature portrait of a man with three eyes, exaggerated facial proportions, and expressive painterly brushwork.

The Third Eye

Stylized digital painting of a snarling spotted hyena with exaggerated features, expressive eyes, and painterly realism.

Laughing Hyena

Detailed close-up digital painting of a bat hanging upside down with large glossy eyes and realistic fur textures.

Nocturne

Exaggerated portrait of a macaque with comically oversized facial features, expressive eyes, and painterly realism.

Monkey Business

Stylized portrait of a zebra with exaggerated facial proportions, vivid lighting, and playful digital painting techniques.

Striped Mischief

Cartoon-inspired digital painting of a spotted hyena with oversized eyes, exaggerated smile, and expressive wildlife portrait styling.

Grinning Menace

WHY THIS ONE

Faces have been part of my get-down for my whole career. When I started the rule was "you never change anything or it is not a portrait". That said, it turns out you can do a TON with a face that can make it have even more of the character than a portrait. This is one of my favorite things to draw but I am generally drawing tomorrows tattoo today, and tattoo caricatures are a pretty rare request. Some of the images here are me, some are Ai trained on my own images and art and others, and some are a bit of both, but all are a pretty good representation of something we can make a reality for you. For these projects, the first couple of custom projects I get still land within the $1000/day rate.

WHAT TO EXPECT

BOOKING

Fill out the form. My helper will reach out immediately with a few questions and I will pick up the conversation as soon as I see it. You pick a day, pay the deposit, and we are locked in. No endless back and forth. I will send you the prep details as needed.

THE SESSION

Show up on time, eat a real meal first, and wear comfortable clothes you do not care about. We work until the piece is done or you tap out. You are charged for the time used and not more than discussed.

THE HEALING

I wrap it up. You leave it alone for three days, then wash it twice a day. Follow the exact sheet I give you. I like coconut oil in the first few days followed by a light lotion. Do not overthink it.

My Studio's GOOGLE RATING

BASED ON 181 REVIEWS

My mom HATES tattoos. Even SHE was blown away when I showed her my back. He was right, they can't debate when the work is great.

- JAXON T.

Unreal attention to detail. He drew this bio to cover up my forearm trees in an hour and it's easily the sharpest piece on my body. Fast, clean, brutal.
