Browse tattoos by placement
Start with the part of the body you have in mind, then explore a specific piece and send your own brief.
Chest Tattoos
Across the Heart: a large colour phoenix composition spanning the chest, photographed with tattooed upper arms visible.
Thigh Tattoos
Front view of The Silent Guard, with its broad helmet crest, shadowed face and layered armour.
Ankle Tattoos
Twin Currents places two red-and-white fish in a light vertical composition above the heel.
Start with a direction
A style label is only a starting point. A useful comparison looks at how the subject is cropped, how the darkest values guide the eye, and whether the design still reads when the body turns.
Black & Grey
Value, atmosphere and separation between the main subject and surrounding skin.
Portrait & Character Realism
Faces and characters need a clear source image, enough room and a crop that survives movement.
Large Back Pieces & Sleeves
Large work is planned around the body, not by enlarging a small drawing. Send placement photos before asking for a project-specific quote.
Japanese & Asian-inspired
Guardians, waves, flowers and historical subjects need a clear cultural and visual direction.
Selected work
These editorial titles make a composition easier to remember; they do not add a client biography. Choose the closest visual direction, then include that title in your message.

Portfolio FAQ
Can I bring a reference from another artist?
Yes. Use it to explain subject, mood or composition. The conversation should establish an original direction rather than promise a direct copy.
Can I request an exact copy of a finished piece shown here?
Use the piece as a reference for direction. Send the image, placement and size so the next design can be discussed for your body and brief.
Does a portfolio image confirm a price or number of sessions?
No. Scale, placement, detail and project scope must be reviewed before a project-specific quote or schedule is confirmed.
