PHILOSOPHY
Passion for all of your ideas
Hi! I’m Ian.
I’ve been working in the tattoo industry for over 7 years now, and honestly, I haven’t been bored for a single day. During that time, I’ve explored a wide variety of styles, from fine line work to larger-scale projects. This broad experience allows me to work with all kinds of ideas and helps me think along with my clients to create something unique.
Over the years, I’ve found my true passion in realism. I especially love creating portraits, animals, pets, and anything that tells a story. And if a Star Wars tattoo comes my way, there’s a good chance I’ll get just a little more excited than usual.
Whether you already have a fully developed concept or just a rough idea in mind, you’re more than welcome. Together, we’ll create something beautiful that you’ll enjoy for years to come.
I like to keep the atmosphere relaxed while tattooing. There’s a fair chance you’ll be exposed to a healthy dose of country music during your session. If you suddenly feel the urge afterward to buy a cowboy hat or plan a road trip through Texas, I can’t be held responsible for that.
