LIONS, ROSES & WATCHES

It's a popular request because it looks cool!

I've been asked for this so much over the years that I put together a few new ones and I have even more than are here, tell me the placement and the details and I'll have it ready for our session.

WHY THIS ONE

Tattooing for 23 years, you will eventually learn that certain images and motifs just carry more weight for people. As common as it is, there is a lot to be said for what these images represent, power, beauty, protection, fleeting time, strength, stoicism and even more when you factor in your specific personal story. So many things hidden behind those eyes. And the reason you see it so often? That's because it looks awesome!

Hit me up. If one of these works for your placement, then we are ready and just waiting for you. If you want something custom, I can turn it around as quickly as you can book.

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 Studios GOOGLE RATING

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 20 minutes and it's easily the sharpest piece on my body. Fast, clean, brutal.
