Bold color. Anime. Blackwork. I tattoo what I'm built for — and I do it at a level that wins conventions.
I don't tattoo everything. I tattoo what I do exceptionally well — bold color, anime and illustrative work, and sharp blackwork. That focus is the reason clients travel from across the state to sit in my chair.
Based in Jacksonville, NC, I've competed at conventions and walked away with four first-place finishes in large color, anime, pin-up, and work on melanated skin. Those wins aren't on the wall for ego — they tell you what you're getting.
My rate is $150/hr. My minimum is $100. I book 12 weeks out because I take on the right number of clients to give every piece the time it deserves.
Four first-place finishes across four categories. Convention judges don't grade on a curve.

Custom design, cover-up, large-scale piece, or not sure if your idea is a fit? Tell me about it. I'll review your request and send a Calendly link if it's something I want to take on.

Heads up: I don't book pet portraits, custom script/lettering, realism, or tribal. If that's your idea, this form won't help — but plenty of great artists specialize in those styles.
