TraditionalLettering
I draw everything bold enough to read across a room and built to hold up for decades. Bring me an idea or pull a sheet — both are welcome.

Small and quiet, done right. I will always tell you the truth about line weight and longevity before we start.

Solid black, laid once, laid right. I love the long projects — sleeves, backs, the pieces we map out together.

We plan the whole piece first, then tattoo it over the seasons. The flow of the body comes before any single motif.

Realism lives or dies on the reference and the plan. Bring me strong photos and we will build something that reads true.

Traditional
Bold black outlines, a tight bright palette, and icons built to age beautifully.
Open the chapter →
Single-needle
Fine-Line
Delicate single-needle work — thin, precise lines and quiet, minimal compositions.
Open the chapter →
Solid black · Ornamental
Blackwork
Solid black fills, geometry, and ornamental pattern in high-contrast graphic form.
Open the chapter →Irezumi
Japanese
Flowing, body-contouring compositions: koi, dragons, waves, and blossoms.

Realism
Photorealistic portraits, animals, and scenes in black-and-grey or color.

Free consultation
In studio or by video — we talk placement, size, references, and a realistic plan, and answer every question.
Deposit & date
A deposit holds your appointment and is applied to your total. You leave with a date and a clear quote.
Tattoo day & aftercare
We open sterile, single-use needles in front of you, tattoo the piece, and send you home with a written aftercare card and a direct line to your artist.
Sheet 06 · The Clinic
Reads like a zine. Runs like a clinic.
The art is the fun part. The safety is non-negotiable. Here is exactly how we keep you safe.
Licensed & permitted
OR body-art facility license + county health-department permit, current and posted on-site.
Single-use needles
Every needle and cartridge is pre-sterilized and opened in front of you, then disposed of after.
Autoclave sterilized
All reusable equipment is sterilized in a medical-grade autoclave, with spore-tested, logged cycles.
BBP certified
Every artist and our piercer is certified annually in Bloodborne Pathogens and OSHA safety.
18+ with valid ID
You must be 18+ with a government photo ID for tattoos. Minors pierced only where state law allows.
Implant-grade jewelry
We pierce only with ASTM F-136 titanium, solid 14k+ gold, or niobium — nickel-free, never plated.
Sheet 07 · Letters
In their words.
★★★★★
Mara pulled a dagger-and-rose off her flash wall and made it mine. Bold, clean, healed perfectly. The whole studio is spotless and she opened every needle in front of me.
Devon R.Buckman, Portland · Google
★★★★★
Iris is the fine-line artist. She was completely honest about how delicate work ages and the result is exactly what I wanted. Gentle, precise, zero ego.
Priya K.Hawthorne · Instagram
★★★★★
Three sessions into a half sleeve with Kenji and it flows like one piece. He planned the whole thing before the first needle touched me. Worth every minute.
