CURATED DISCIPLINES
TATTOO STYLES
Portfolio-Building Opportunities Available
I'm currently building my portfolio in the tattoo styles I'm most passionate about, including anime and cartoon tattoos, black-and-gray realism, patch tattoos, and Japanese-inspired designs.
What does portfolio building mean?
It means I'm offering special discounted rates on select tattoo projects that help me gain more experience and grow my portfolio in these styles.
In exchange, I ask that you allow me to photograph the finished tattoo for my portfolio and social media, with your permission.
Not every design will qualify for a discount, and pricing will depend on the size, detail, and placement. If you've got an idea, send it my way and let's see what we can put together!

Bring your favorite characters to life with bold outlines, bright colors, and designs full of personality.
