Custom Work · Every Time

Built from Scratch.
Made for You.

Nothing I make is pulled from an old timey Flash sheet or recycled from a previous client. Every piece starts with your idea, runs through my own creative filter, and ends up as something that's genuinely yours.

Custom Tattoo Styles

Every style I work in carries my own perspective — so whatever you bring to the table, whether it's a loose idea or something fully thought out, we'll shape it into something that's entirely yours. Now booking in Eugene, Oregon and Los Angeles, California.

Neotraditional

A style rooted in traditional tattooing but updated for the modern age. A mixture of line weights, smooth shading, and striking color work. One of my personal favorite styles to work in.

Black and Grey

This style is all about depth and dimension. Soft gradients and a painterly touch that creates work that's both timeless and built to age beautifully. If you've ever wanted a tattoo that looks like a photograph or a marble sculpture, this is it.

Illustrative

This style is rooted in storytelling, drawing inspiration from the rich visual history of human art — graphic illustration, medieval woodcuts, ancient artifacts, and beyond. The result is work that feels both timeless and deeply personal, like wearing a piece of history.

Pop Culture and Fan Art

Whether you're into Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Dungeons & Dragons, anime, movies, video games, comics, or books — I get it, because I love it too. I've worked across a wide range of fandoms and I take the source material seriously. These stories matter, and every piece I do is my way of honoring that.

Everyone's Welcome Here.

My goal is for every client to feel completely at ease. The more you bring of yourself to the process, the better I can create something that's truly made for you.

Safe and Inclusive Space

My studio is a welcoming space for everyone — regardless of who you are, where you're from, or what you look like. I've always believed tattooing should be accessible and accommodating for all bodies and all people.

Vegan Inks and Products

From my inks to the products I send you home with, everything I use is vegan and cruelty-free. So if you're trying to live a cruelty-free lifestyle, I've got you covered.

Environmentally Conscious Practice

I'm committed to keeping my practice as eco-friendly as possible. Disposable products are a reality in tattooing, but that doesn't mean they need to sit in a landfill forever. So I choose compostable alternatives wherever I can. Because single-use shouldn't mean permanent waste.
