I spend hours behind the machine, tuned into every detail but this is where I actually breathe.🐕🍁
The trees don’t rush you, the air doesn’t judge your lines, it just listens.
Something about being out here with this dog and the silence resets me.
Nature teaches the same thing tattooing does patience, flow, presence.
This is where my creativity comes back to life.

Fresh finish on this one 🖤 🐍 🌸
One and a half sessions of clean lines and soft shading. The way that snake wraps around her shoulder just sits too perfect.
Every scale, every petal placed with patience. The flower’s all soft stipple done with a single needle, and the way the snake flows around her shoulder just hugs her shape perfectly. Clean, calm, and built to fit her. Pieces like this remind me why I love what I do.

Starting this piece! A 60s pin-up nurse with that clean vintage look. keeping the old-school cap but giving it a darker twist. half her face still soft and alive, the other side decayed showing bone and texture. that contrast is where the story really sits.
roses, vines, and thorns wrapping around her, bringing that mix of beauty and pain, calm and chaos. two full days on this one and I’m excited to see it come together. 🖤

To be continued 💪 This one’s more than just a lion, it’s a piece of Sri Lankan pride 🇱🇰🦁
The lion and sword aren’t random, they’re straight from the heart of the Sri Lankan flag, symbolizing strength, courage, and heritage. I wanted to capture that same power through realism every strand of fur, every reflection on the metal, and every shadow was built to move with the arm, so when the wrist flexes, the whole piece comes alive.
Took 2 full-day sessions to bring this beast to life — all hand-done, no shortcuts. Deep blacks, clean gradients, and that armor detail tying the story together.
This one’s a reminder — your ink should mean something and move right with your body.
Quality always over quantity. 🔥

Terrifier straight out the skin 🔪🩸
This ain’t just ink — it’s nightmare fuel stamped on the forearm. The eyes follow you, the grin makes your stomach turn, and the details? Sharp enough to cut. I went heavy on contrast, kept it raw, no soft shit — just straight Halloween energy locked in.
This month’s all about horror vibes — who you rocking on your skin if you had to choose one icon? Freddy? Jason? Pennywise? Or you letting Art the Clown take the crown? 👀
October’s here, and what better way to set the vibe than going full Terrifier on skin? 🎃
This forearm piece was a straight-up ride into horror realism – the twisted grin, the cold stare, the chaos in the background… every detail was built to hit that raw creep factor. The textures, blacks, and highlights bring the scene to life in a way that makes it feel like Art the Clown could step right out at you.
Tattooing horror isn’t just about inking a scary face – it’s about storytelling, atmosphere, and making people feel something the second they look at it. That’s why Halloween season is my favorite time to work on pieces like this. 🔥
👀 Would you ever sit for a horror sleeve? Or do you stick to the classics – roses, angels, scripts? Let’s hear it – if you had to choose one horror icon to wear forever, who’s going on your skin?

A full day of work went into bringing this turtle to life 🐢 – every scale, every shadow, every line built up layer by layer for that clean, realistic depth. What makes this one even more powerful is what sits on its shell: the 7 Hindu chakras.
Each chakra represents a different energy center in the body – from grounding and survival at the root, to creativity, willpower, love, truth, vision, and finally, pure consciousness at the crown. By carrying them on the turtle’s back, this design becomes more than just realism – it turns into a moving symbol of balance, patience, and spiritual strength.
Turtles already stand for longevity, wisdom, and endurance in many cultures, and tying that to the chakras builds a piece that’s both protective and deeply spiritual. A reminder to move slow, stay grounded, and keep the energy aligned no matter where life takes you.

Two full days went into bringing this peacock to life on the thigh every feather laid down with patience, depth, and flow so the piece moves naturally with the body. In Punjabi culture, the peacock isn’t just admired for its beauty it’s a symbol of grace, pride, and resilience. You’ll see it across folklore, poetry, and even the arts, representing vibrance and spirit. That cultural weight combined with the intricate detailing made this more than just a tattoo – it’s a statement piece. Quality over quantity always, and every hour spent here was about perfecting those textures and bold contrasts so the design pops at any angle.

7 hours straight on this beast 💪🏻The contrast and shading make every strand of fur stand out, and the placement lets the bull pop like it’s charging right off the arm. Aggressive, powerful, all movement and energy , exactly how it should feel when you look at it. Clean, bold, detailed… nothing rushed.

This one took me 2 and a half full days to bring to life. Every wrinkle in the Chief’s face, every feather, every line on that eagle was built slow and steady. Nothing rushed. I’m big on quality over quantity—if it takes me days to make sure every detail hits the way it should, then that’s how it’s done. Pieces like this aren’t just tattoos, they’re commitments.This one took me 2 and a half full days to bring to life.

Two full days back-to-back on this Medusa piece 🐍🔥
Every single scale on that snake is laid down clean, smooth shades all the way through, no shortcuts. That’s the kind of detail that separates a tattoo that looks good today from one that still looks insane 10 years down the line.
Medusa isn’t just art, it’s meaning — strength, protection, power, and a story that’s lived for centuries. That’s why I take my time… it’s never about how many tattoos I can finish, it’s about making sure each one hits that next level. Quality > quantity, always.

Two and a half sessions of pure electricity ⚡️ Bringing Zeus to life on your skin isn’t just about getting a tattoo it’s all about showing the power he stands for. He’s the god of thunder, rules the skies, and represents strength and justice. His eyes light up like a storm! energy, thunderbolts cutting through the architecture of ancient Greece beneath him. The cracked pillars symbolize both timeless power and the fragility of empires — intricate linework carved into every detail. Every strand of his beard, every wrinkle of wisdom, every shadow in the marble-like architecture was built to flow with the arm’s anatomy. This isn’t just a tattoo, it’s a story of divinity, power, and balance between destruction and creation.

18 hours of pure grind on this one. Every little detail was built layer by layer — from the anatomy, the textures, to the flow around the piece. The goal was to make it sit perfectly with the arm’s shape while keeping the strength and depth alive.
Big shoutout to my client for sitting through this marathon and trusting the process. Pieces like these aren’t just tattoos — they’re stories, patience, and resilience on both ends. Super proud of how this one came together.

3 and a half full-day sessions in the bag.
The chief and eagle up top are fully healed, still holding every bit of detail and contrast like the day they were done. The fresh angel on the forearm just tied the whole sleeve together—every fold in the robe, every feather, carved in with precision. From the calm strength in the chief’s eyes to the fierce eagle and the graceful angel, this one’s got layers of story and detail that hit from every angle.
