BACKGROUND & CRAFT

MEET YOUR ARTIST

Hey, I'm Cord!

I'm a tattoo artist working out of Ink'd Up Tattoo Parlor in Albertville, Alabama.

I enjoy working on everything from anime and cartoon characters to traditional, black-and-gray, and custom tattoos. I'm also building my portfolio in Japanese-inspired and patch-style tattoos.

Whether you've got a design ready or just an idea, feel free to reach out. I'd love to hear what you're thinking and see what we can put together.

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!
