About this portfolio

A selection, not an archive

This is curated rather than exhaustive. Each piece was picked to show how a style is actually executed, so if you are still working out which direction suits your idea, this is the page worth spending time on.

Most of what you see is custom, drawn for one person. Flash is the exception. Those designs are ready to go and start at $100–$150.

What to look for in each style

🖤 Black & Grey Realism

Watch the mid-tones. Black and grey depends on the greys doing the work, so the darks stay deep while the soft transitions still read from across a room rather than turning to mush.

✦ Fine Line

Fine line lives or dies on spacing. These are drawn with deliberate room between elements, because lines spread slightly as they settle and crowded work closes up over time.

✍ Script & Lettering

Lettering is weighted and angled to follow the part of the body it sits on instead of being dropped on flat, which is what keeps a name or a date legible years later.

↻ Cover-Ups

Every cover-up is planned around what is already on the skin. See the finished cover-ups in the portfolio above, and real before and afters on the cover-up page. Send a clear photo of your existing tattoo for an honest assessment.
