I’ll be heading to Motor City Tattoo Expo in Detroit from Friday 2/28 to Sunday 3/2; I still have some availability, and will also be taking walk-ups. Hit me up if you’ll be there and want sick tattoos.

Mostly healed wings, little rework of the red tattoo in the center, and some fresh bits

Finally started working on some death metal material for the first time in a few years, so I had to get the pointy boys together for family photo day

One of my favorite projects from last year; @vinsyn.bsky.social has been one of my favorite movie releasing companies for a while now, so being able to draw gnarly stuff for them is a dream come true

One of a couple hand jammers I had the pleasure of tattooing last week. This guy’s name is Harold.

Hello BlueSky people, who at this point are probably just my friends and people who follow me on other platforms already. I figured the best way to kick things off is with this 2024 Art Vs Artist post, which properly displays what I’m about.
