Calgary has been so good to me. Good people, beautiful nature, and a lot of memories I’ll be taking with me. 🏔️🌲
Hanuman in progress on the inner forearm. We couldn’t finish the piece today due to some shoulder mobility issues, but the foundation is coming together beautifully. We’ll continue in the next session and bring the rest of the details to life. 🙏🏽🖤

this Egyptian god sleeve is all about creating a strong flow between each element with realism and depth coming together as one piece.
Still in progress from my Calgary guest spot, with more to come.
A little behind the scenes of what happens beyond the tattoo.
Real conversations, real moments with my clients, and the tattoo captured exactly as it looks in natural light. No studio tricks, no heavy editing, just an iPhone capturing the process as it really is.
For me, the experience is just as important as the final piece. 🖤
Healed Lord Shiva 🙏🏽
This is the healed result of my Lord Shiva piece, showing how the details, contrast, and depth settle into the skin over time. No filters, no hiding the reality of healed work, just the tattoo as it naturally looks

Healed Lord Shiva 🙏🏽
There’s something special about seeing a piece settle into the skin and truly come alive. The contrast, the details, and the calm energy of Shiva all coming together beautifully with time.

Realism has always been about more than copying a reference. It’s about creating depth, emotion, and a composition that breathes.
With this samurai piece, I leaned heavily into contrast and negative space, letting the skin become just as important as the ink. Every detail was placed with intention, allowing the textures, shadows, and highlights to flow naturally.
Sometimes what you leave untouched is what makes the artwork truly come alive.

Tattoo i did at @inkthe6ixtorontotattooexpo
Seeing my work a week into the healing process is always rewarding. The skin is still recovering, but the tattoo is already showing the depth, contrast, and intention behind every detail 🙏🙏
A quick recap from Ink The 6ix 2nd Edition. Three days surrounded by incredible artists, inspiring conversations, and an energy that reminds me why I love this industry.
And of course, some of my favourite people who made the weekend even more memorable 🙏
Bringing Lord Shiva’s meditative presence to life through black and grey realism.
Every detail crafted with devotion and respect. Har Har Mahadev 🙏
📍 Calgary Guest Spot | July 22 to 29
I’ll be back in @mockingbirdtattoos Calgary for one week only, taking on a limited number of projects.
If you’ve been thinking about starting or continuing a large-scale realism piece, now’s the time. DM me with your idea to book your session.
Three days. One tattoo. Countless conversations, laughs, and unforgettable moments.
Wrapped up this piece at the convention this weekend, and I’m beyond grateful for the amazing energy from everyone who stopped by, watched, supported, or simply shared the experience. These events always remind me why I love what I do.
Until the next one. 🤝🖤
Thankyou @inkthe6ixtorontotattooexpo
