Serious work,
easy process

I've been tattooing for 12 years and I still love what I do. My specialty is black & grey realism, colour realism, and work that mixes in graphic elements — but more than style, what I care about is making sure every tattoo actually means something to the person wearing it.

A lot of people come in nervous, unsure how to explain what they want, or worried their idea isn't "good enough." It always is. My job is to ask the right questions and help you figure it out — the consultation is part of the process, not a test you have to pass.

I'm based at The Raven and the Wolves in Long Beach. Everything I do is custom — no flash, no repeats.

Also known
as Name

Outside of tattooing, I paint under the name Name. The work shares the same visual obsessions — realism, raw mark-making, graphic interruption — but the canvas gives it room to breathe differently. Originals, commissions, and limited prints available.

How it
works

01
Reach out

Fill out the form with your idea — even if it's rough or half-formed. There's no wrong answer, and I read every message personally.

02
We talk

We go back and forth — I'll ask some questions, you share whatever references or thoughts you have. Most people are surprised how easy this part is.

03
The design

I draw something made specifically for you. You'll see it on the day of your appointment — I find it works better that way.

04
Your session

We do the work. I'll make sure you're comfortable the whole way through. Everything happens at The Raven and the Wolves in Long Beach.

Get in
touch

Tell me what you're thinking — tattoo, painting commission, or anything else. I keep response times short and I'm easy to talk to. No idea is too rough to share.
