It happens to the best of us...

You want to cover-up a tattoo.

What type of tattoos cover well?

In my experience, covers can be well handled when you use proper shapes and pigments. Saturation and black are key elements in covering a tattoo.

Geometric tattoos and mandalas work well to cover.

✨️That faded old tattoo may not be the barrier you think to getting that large-scale piece you want.

DM me to chat about your next tattoo or cover-up!

This was a fun piece to do for a returning client. A smirking culture to cover a scar.

Name your favorite flower 🌼

Flower tattoos can be very personal and a nice representation on their own, or work well as a complement within a larger tattoo composition.

Either way I like to play around with making the details unique for my clients.

What flower would you get tattooed?

This back piece and sleeve hold a lot of personal significance for this customer. I’m glad I was able to capture her ideas into this cohesive black and grey large scale tattoo incorporating the military nurse symbol with skulls, mandalas, pet portraits and more!

I enjoy weaving these custom designs together. What are you looking to get translated into a piece of tattoo art?

Find my website link in my bio to submit your idea on the Booking page!
